Re: What to wear to grad audition?

As a general rule, match your attire to the music, i.e. no frayed jeans for classical repertoire. But more importantly for women if you ever want to perform or audition in a dress or skirt is the length of the skirt. If any chance exists that you would be on a stage with the audience or judge sitting below the floor of the stage, the view from the audience will be up your skirt. This is NOT a flattering look, no matter how good your legs or age. Futhermore, low heel looks better than flats. High heels leave the audience wondering how comfortable is for the player to stand. It is also worth making sure that the soles of the shoes don't click or make noise on stage. And it is really worth it to look very critically when you wear a short sleeved or sleeveless top or bodice for unsightly bulges or flabby upper arms. Your goal is for your music to be the focus, not your attire.
