Jury Guidelines
Regular Juries take place at the end of most every semester. They consist of a prepared program of three etudes and two solo works. The student will chose the first piece to be performed at the jury. The jury members will then select additional selections from those prepared. This jury is not accompanied. The following must be brought to the jury:
- Three copies of a printed program of the music prepared for the jury. Please use the jury program template.
- Three copies of the saxophone parts of each of your pieces/etudes. You may bring original piano parts to substitute for these copies. Do not copy piano scores. Exception: You do not need to bring copies of Ferling etudes. Collate all copies and place them in the order in which you wish to perform them.
