Music audition spreadsheet and charts
Our symphony holds auditions. The next one will be on percussion instruments, and will have 50 candidates. During a three-day process, they will be winnowed down to one or two. They will perform many excerpts from repertoire, each lasting less than a minute. I would like to score each performance in three ways: Technique, Sound, Musicianship. The total running score will determine who advances. After the audition, I would like to offer feedback to individual candidates. The simple running totals are not useful. I would like to tell Candidate B, for example, how s/he scored against "average", and in comparison with the highest and lowest IN EACH INSTRUMENT, EACH OF THE THREE CRITERIA and EACH EXCERPT. Some sort of graphic display would suffice, so the candidate could tell, for example, how s/he scored, and compared, in xylophone sound, or cymbal technique, as well as simply cumlatively against the field. I have enquired in a limited way amongst colleagues, and have not found anything as detailed (and potentially very useful) available. Thank you.
