If my lover or favorite former student was pre-advanced to the finals or semifinals, even if it was a blind audition, why would I bother voting for anybody who I listen to in the preliminaries? My mental start-line as a committee member is “oh, my favorite student / my lover is starting in the finals/semi-finals, and I really want him/her to win.” This situation has happened in both the clarinet sections of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and the ASO. The well-known professional orchestra that I played in on the other side of the world, the judge sitting next to me tried to cheat the blind audition to help his student! This happens everywhere. Music judges with this mental start-line will vote defensively, and if they are successful, the result often shows nepotism…… or perhaps their student / lover played the the best audition (from the finals…. :-/

I’m not saying here that the system is rotten to the core—it just needs to be tweaked. Blind auditions are definitely the way to go. And the best player does sometimes win.

But if we want to make this as fair as possible, and really have the audition be about ability And the taste of a particular committee, why not have everybody go through a blind, live preliminary first round for each audition?

Frankly, more people should speak out about this, I think.
