Guild Auditions
teeeeeembo Tue, Jan 10 at 11:54 PM
Greetings!
my name is Tim Girardot, and I'm the chairman for the Austin area Guild
auditions. I've learned that the in person judge for this year is Dr
Craig John Ralston, who is a singular judge, pianist and teacher. Please
see his bio and cover letter that's attached.
If anyone wishes to
have their students play for Dr Ralston this year, please feel free to
contact me via this email, or the phone numbers provided in the cover
letter, and let me know how many students you wish to audition.
This
year will be different in another, wonderful way--Austin's in person
auditions will now be held at the ACC School of Music, located in the
old Highland Mall in central Austin.
Your students will get to play on a NEW Yamaha C3 grand piano in a collegiate setting!
thank you for your time, and feel free to contact me with any questions. Have a great day!
sincerely,
Tim Girardot
