The Benefits of Music Education

How to Prepare for an Audition – October, 2022

Christopher Laughlin – founder of the Christopher Laughlin School of Music joined Daytime Chicago with tips for getting your kids ready for audition time.

“Music exercises the mind and the body,” Laughlin told Daytime Chicago. “You have to control pitch, rhythm, and harmony, and you have to do that in real time using your body, which develops fine motor skills. The first step [of an audition] is knowing the rules. Find out which music they want you to learn, and practice, practice, practice.” He also suggested doing practice auditions for your family and friends, until you feel confident and comfortable with the piece!
