Thank you for your interest in the CU Boulder College of Music flute studio!
Some tips to finding your flute home:
- Do your research! Explore the offerings of both the school and the teacher. In a flute studio it’s all about finding the right fit, both for the student and the teacher.
- Attend masterclasses, summer programs lessons and performances of your prospective professor.
- Ask questions and always stay in professional contact with the professor. When in doubt, err on the side of formality.
- Prepare early and completely the repertoire for the audition.
- Consider memorization.
- Consider writing your own cadenza for your Mozart Concerto.
- Apply to a range of schools.
Remember that the audition process is like a ping-pong match full of serves, volleys and fun!
