Audition Requirements

Saskatoon Youth Orchestra

Prospective members should be serious students of their instruments with several years experience. They should have already developed good technique and facility and be able to play with good tone and intonation. This ensemble is not for beginners.

Please see detail from Audition Music for requirements for each section.

Candidates may be asked to play other material which will demonstrate proficiency. Only the candidate and the auditioners will be in the room during the audition.

String players who have not yet achieved the minimum level for the Youth Orchestra should consider auditioning for the Saskatoon Strings.

We do our best to eliminate undue stress during our auditions and to make it a worthwhile experience. We don’t expect perfect performances or tally mistakes.
