Hi Kerri!

Good luck in your audition! I'm in college now, but i did NJ regions and all state when i was in HS and did the concertino. what region are you in? is this for next year? cause wouldn't regions be really late in the year if they were now?

I found that slowing the sixteenth notes down a bit to a more comfortable tempo and playing them purposely uneven helped a lot. Here's what you do: pick a rhythm that would be uneven...like a dotten eighth and sixteenthnote and play the notes to that rhythm...then reverse it...pick any other rhythm and play every note to every rhythm...you'll figure out where you're rushing and dragging since your fingers will have to be comfortable with every note no matter what the rhythm...and once you've mastered the weird rhythm...putting even sixteenthnotes back should be a sinch...this will take a bit of time to really fix, but it'll help a lot...i guarantee it. (sorry if this was not clear).

Good luck!
