Audio Files for Honor Audtion

Students auditioning for Honor Orchestra can use these files to help with practice.  I made various practice tempos for you.    CLICK TO ACCESS AUDIO FILES

*Violin Excerpt 2:  I did not include the trill in the audio file, but you should practice the trill.  Even though it is pizzicato.   Use a technique similar to a "hammer-on" like a guitarist might use.
here's a recording :)  Leroy Anderson's Jazz Pizzicato
