Tools for Managing Audition Anxiety

by Joanna Cazden

This piece offers practical tips for anxiety management in the specific setting of a music audition: being well-prepared; expecting the unexpected; using mental rehearsal; turning doubts into ambitions; rewarding oneself for the effort; and knowing when to seek deeper counseling. It was written last year at the request of the Majoring in Music website shown, which is aimed at prospective college students.
