All interested flute majors are invited and encouraged to take a lesson with Dr. Seidman and learn what the Penn State Music Department has to offer. Visiting the campus before you decide to audition is a great way to get to know Penn State!

Audition Requirements:

Undergraduate

To prepare for the audition, students should choose works that they feel represent them at their best. The audition faculty would like to hear contrasting materials that show both technical facility and music expressiveness. This may be two different pieces (solos or etudes), or two movements of a large work. In addition, students should be prepared to play all major scales in two octaves, either slurred or tongued upon request, and the chromatic scale from low C up and down three octaves.
