I just recieved my college audition requirements (the audition is next wednesday). The requirements are as follows
All Students Must:
Recognise a given note
Sing a given note
Recognise a chord
Recognise Specific Intervals
Bassists Must Play:
G Riff
Bb Riff
Em Riff
C7 Riff
Em Pentatonic Scale
Walking bass in a given rhythm
Audition Piece Must Be:
Grade 1-3
Well Prepared
Accurate
Now I have a few questions:
As I don't have the best ear, how can I improve this? I'm currently using:
http://www.musictheory.net/trainers/html/id90_en.html to try to train my ear.
Are the "riffs" just a riff played in a certain key? Or are then constructed of that specific scale?
What songs are Grade 1-3? I was thinking of doing either "Killing in the Name Of" or "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?"
Thanks
