Book an Advice Audition

We offer advice and guidance before you apply and audition to help you with the process.

If this would be helpful, please fill out this form.

We will then contact you to make arrangements for your visit. Please note that visits and auditions take place during term time and during the school day.

Ideally the advice audition takes place in person at Chetham’s, but we realise that this isn’t always possible. If you are unable to visit in person, you can include YouTube links to video recordings of at least 2 pieces on your principal study instrument, as well as scales/arpeggios that reflect the level of repertoire presented. We would also ask you to begin the video/s with a short, spoken introduction of yourself and the pieces you are going to present.

There is a standard charge of £45 for advice auditions. However, if this cost presents a barrier to you, please let us know as we may be able to help.
