“The excerpts became a vehicle for me to really explore different ways of preparing music and to overall become a more consistent and better performer”
— Cellist Will Teegarden
“Participating in the COAP Intensive was an invigorating and challenging experience that gave me a fresh perspective on auditions and also some invaluable inspiration from everyone I met. I highly recommend participating in COAP to anyone taking auditions!”
— Samuel Pierce-Ruhland, Assistant Principal Cellist of the Omaha Symphony
“COAP builds all the different elements you need for successful audition prep and balances them perfectly. Enough pressure and stress to prepare you for your rounds; enough support and teaching that you never feel overwhelmed; and the right timeline and structure so that you can peak exactly when you need to. My audition after COAP was the first time in my life I walked into an audition feeling totally prepared and with no regrets.”
— Cellist John Belk
