What scared you about College auditions?


Thinking I wasn’t ready to pursue at the collegiate level


Jumping in to a career that would not have a next step after graduating


Whether or not I’d be what the school was looking for


Not knowing what was expected of me/ What they were looking for


Having a feeling of being underprepared

*Choosing the right pieces


Terrified I wouldn’t be a good fit for the school, that my work was only good to me


Thinking location would have a detrimental effect on me as a person




What is an Artist?


An artist holds the mirror up to reality.  


We reflect what the world authentically presents.


An Artist is someone who creates!!!


An Artist is a member of Society born to reflect and also entertain that Society. Serve as Society’s mirror and its relief from itself.



Work hard, connect deeply to your pieces, and be the best Artist you can be!
