Winning the Audition with Tom Hooten
Principal Trumpet of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Tom Hooten joined me for a very special Winning the Audition. I can't recommend this session any more highly - and not just for people preparing for auditions! His detailed thoughts about how he goes about approaching his practicing is something every musician should hear.
Tom went really deep on all things relating to auditions!
👉 Tom's five pillars to audition preparation
👉 Why Tom had to get brutally honest with himself about what he could do on the trumpet and where his approach to practicing needed improving
👉 The importance of intentionally addressing all of our weaknesses on a regular basis rather than inadvertently avoiding them in the practice room
👉 Why the judgements we have of ourselves and our limitations on the instrument are frequently just an issue of a lack of time spent in that area
👉 What is Neuro-Associative Conditioning and why Tom relied heavily on it during audition prep
👉 And much more!
