My Con audition is tomorrow ... I'm getting cold feet about auditioning for Major level. I applied just to give it a go, but seriously I'm really unprepared - learning 5 new pieces to suit the requirements was harder than I thought, I've got 4 and one of them isn't complete, the other 3 I still...

Yeah, I had my UNSW audition on Wednesday morning, and it didn't go too well. The written test flew by, it was all common sense. But for the prac, in the end I realised I picked the wrong piece, I chose one of my harder ones cause I thought that was what they were looking for. I did a Chopin...

I agree with you 100% ;) After all you are in my music class hahaha. Hi mary

I nearly cracked up in the examination room in the America quesiton because of how out of tune the second variation was, hahahaha. I got excited in reading time cause the questions were so easy ... and then the excerpts came on and it was like " ...... WTF " Didn't turn out too bad though...

I loved the Powerpoint presentation cause it showed a lot of opinions so there was a lot to write about. The CD cover was good too, it was easy for me to analyse cause I analyse artworks for art. I did those two, and I'm really confident about this Question ;)

Meh ... I thought all three were way too broad ... so I just did Journeys of the Heart and talked about passion, determination and longing. Question was broad so I made my answer broad ... at least I could talk about anything because of how broad it was. Not too happy with this question, but...

I was a bit taken aback that they changed the destination and journey around in terms of importance, but in the end I managed to shape all my texts to suit the question. All in all, awesome question!!!!!!

Haha, that makes me feel a whole lot better, but I still recken I have no chance ;) Not giving up though, I'll make them think I didn't know that my pieces had extra movements, hahaha. I think the fact that I'm not prepared for it makes the whole thing ever more fun. But for the Minor level...

Nah, they didn't actually send me the notification yet, when I handed in the application they told me that the audition is in November, so that's all I know. Hopefully it's after my HSC.

Yeah, I know what you mean when you say that you wanna make it into this business but you don't think you have enough talent - cause I feel the exact same way. I've heard lectures about what a substandard career music is, but seriously when you think about it, it's hardly any different to any...

It's not the mark, but the Assessment Rank that goes to the Board of Studies. I came first in Music 1, does that mean I get scaled up or down? I really don't get how scaling works, no matter how many times I read about it in that scaling page in the site ...

Lol, sorry mate, I'm talking about Sydney. It's closest and I'm not willing to travel to Wollongong. I'm also trying out for BMus but in piano ... if not then I'm doing BMus Studies cause thats in Minor Level. My other preferences are in UNSW and my last last one is UWS, and hopefully I don't...

I seriously don't see myself doing anything else other than music, I have all these friends that're doing economic/business related courses and I'm the outcast doing music, haha. My conservatorium audition is next month and I'm not really prepared for it. I signed up to do the Major audition...

Wow, I feel so junior lol I wanna continue music in uni but I'm still not sure where to go. I put the Con as well as the UNSW course in my UAC preferences. I've been playing nearly 8 years now, I did my 8th Grade AMEB last October and stopped Musicianship after I did my Grade 5 exam back in...

Yeah my one went pretty alright, considering my teacher made me change one of my pieces 2 months ago. I had three examiners too, they were really nice and pretty down to earth. I just got the first exam nerves and ended up making a few mistakes that I've never made before in my life. Does...

Whoa! That makes my $110 look pretty ordinary then, doesn't it?

I was at the Open Day yesterday and talked to the lady at the Con booth. She gave me a general overview of everything that you guys have mentioned in this thread, and gave me an actual sheet that most of you seem to have quoted from. She didn't stress too much on UAI cutoffs, just the audition...

Haha some of you guys have to realize that not all of us go to an intellectually advanced school. I go to a public school, and I've never had to write a synopsis before this, and never in my life have I ever written footnotes before. Normal essays are exactly what they are - essays! A synopsis...

Yep, I totally second that. The reason I chose it is because of my interest in the perspective History Extension takes, that of Historiography. If you get irritated by remembering specific dates and how to spell things like Homoioi and Perioeci and you want to focus on like the construction of...

Yeah, I thought so. That makes us feel a whole lot better, haha. I don't see the point in stressing too much over those readings, I have a friend that did the course last year and got 96 for History Extension and he didn't even read them. All we did was read a few in class, and got summaries of...
