any tips?...exspecially on chromatic scale..any ideas on how to make it smoother?

As far a the chromatic scale, put a slight emphasis on the beats. In other words, emphasize the first of every four notes. This will help to even out a steady tempo. DA da da da DA da da da DA da da da DA

ok thanx.
i will deff. try that!

ooh. and its supposed to ne all-STATE, not all CITY. lol. sry

come on ppl..these auditions are saturday!!

Ok ok.... A quickie...

Start it SLOW with a tuner. Get each half step in tune before raising the tempo. Then, slowly raise the tempo, paying close attention to intonation and timing. If you have a tuner and a metronome, use both.

Good luck!

yup...
play it in tune, and in time, even if that means you have to do it at a snail's tempo.
I mentioned this in another thread where someone remarked how easy the chromatic scale is. If that's true, then why do so many players play it out of tune? If it were that easy, why would the audition panel want to hear you play it?? Because it's harder than people think it is to do RIGHT.
Another thing..
stay consistent with your articulations. make every note sound like the one before it (same attack, note length, volume). Like Erik said.. SLOW DOWN and do it right.
Good luck.
PS... chromatics are something you should work on regularly, not just for upcoming auditions. Just a thought.

Hey, don't worry about the audition. Someone once said, "If not making it (all state , in your case) is the worst thing that happens to you, you'll have a pretty good life." So RELAX, and good luck!

Let us know how things turn out!

Ok..thanx guys! u've been very helpful. Um..wish me luck!...and i guess whatever happens,happens.

ok.so. i was good until i got in there. then,..it all hit me at once. I freaked and forgot like 5 of my scales. Then..on top of that my tone was really shakey/unsteady. I did bad..really bad. is it normal to get that nrevous? lol

Nervousness is very normal. That's why the first audition is usually the hardest. But now that you have that out of the way, you can work towards the next one. Just take what you learned this time into the next time!

Heck yeah, it's normal! On my final audition to graduate from the Armed Forces School of Music, I was so nervous my hands were shaking so bad I just couldn't hold the horn steady against my chops.
It's something I have struggled with for a long time. It seems the larger the audience, the easier time I have. But put just a few people listening, I get really nervous.
Two books you should consider reading.
1. Effortless Mastery by Kenny Werner
http://www.amazon.com/Effortless-Mastery-Liberating-Master-Musician/dp/156224003X/sr=1-1/qid=1170120775/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-0783874-0606044?ie=UTF8&s=books
2. The Inner Game of Tennis (or The Inner Game of Music, either one.) by Tim Gallwey (Inner Game of Music is co-authored by Barry Green)
Both books have helped me quite a bit.

Douglas Yeo has some great articles on the subject on his website..

I hope you find some or all of this useful... good luck and keep practicing!

I've heard LOTS of great things about The Inner Game of Tennis. I really should pick it up.

I've read part of the inner game of music, I'm only on page 40 some and now whenever I go into the audition room, Its so much better. That book deffently will help ANYONE, I like it...I'll suggest it to anyone.
