More Public School Audition Ranting

MostlyBass ClassicPost

Ugh. I just finished a lesson with a wonderfully nice student with an upcoming audition. Apparently, the local high school is having Russlan and Ludmilla as their excerpt of choice for current 8th graders / incoming freshman. Russlan? Really? Come on!!!

Here’s how I feel about that.

This infuriates me and is so discouraging to the students. Why not just ask them to quit and cut corners in their development?
