At University of Western Ontario, the jury is like a final playing test. You perform a few pieces, some studies or orchestral excerpts, and scales on demand, and a panel of jurors gives you a grade for your performance. So it's more like an exam for us than it is a practice.

At Interlochen Arts Academy juries are graded and occur at the end of every semester. The the persons grading are the teacher and 3 other members of the music faculty.

Hello Down Under--When I was a clarinet major at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA, playing for a "jury" meant that we prepared a solo or etude to be played in front of a panel of instructors (usually three) for our semester grade. This was usually done in one of their offices, but for my graduate juries, I was sometimes on stage in the performing arts center auditorium which presented far more accoustical challenges to overcome. They were usually nerve-racking experiances because we also had to be ready to play any scale/arpeggio combination as well as sight-read some excerpt. They were certainly a test of our performance skills, and patience....especially when the accompanist was late and the jury members were growing hungry. Have fun and keep practicing....it's all worth it in the end.
