1. MYAUDITIONS TO OFFER NEW SERVICES TO SCHOOLS
MyAuditions will soon offer conservatories, colleges and universities with a co-branded "Syndicated Search" tool enabling them to seamlessly integrate the MyAuditions search platform directly into their school Web site. Schools can choose to integrate one specific or all three search types (performance, education, and/or arts Administration).

MyAuditions will also begin offering a print publication of job vacancies to schools this fall for distribution to faculty members and their students. The publication will be sent via email in Adobe PDF format.

2. FEATURED ARTIST OF THE MONTH - SUSAN L. NIGRO, BASSOON
The June 2005 featured artist of the month is Susan L. Nigro. One of the world's very few soloists of the contrabassoon, she has given numerous recitals, produced CD's, commissioned works, and has performed with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra to name a few.

Preparing for an orchestral audition does not begin in a practice room with an audition list. It begins years earlier. Douglas Yeo, Bass Trombonist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra outlines the practical steps any musician can take toward audition readiness.
