He was also accepted to the Master’s program and offered a teaching assistantship at the University of Northern Colorado after a stellar audition and a carefully executed plan to distract the professors. However, he was accepted to the University of Southern California via his audition video, where he hadn’t been asked to sight-read. He had a similar experience when he auditioned in Boulder at the University of Colorado.
He was not accepted into the Master’s program, and with a heavy heart, he boarded the bus to endure the two-day journey back home. He was great at memorizing and a talented performer, but they had discovered his weakness. This is where this young man’s audition fell apart. The professors seemed impressed, and then they asked him to sight-read a difficult piece. He traveled by bus from Pueblo, Colorado, to Rochester, New York, to audition at the Music School of Eastman, where he performed beautifully. A young college graduate had just completed his Bachelor's degree in piano performance and pedagogy and had begun auditioning for Master’s programs at other Universities.
