As far a the chromatic scale, put a slight emphasis on the beats. In other words, emphasize the first of every four notes. This will help to even out a steady tempo. DA da da da DA da da da DA da da da DA

Ok ok.... A quickie...
Start it SLOW with a tuner. Get each half step in tune before raising the tempo. Then, slowly raise the tempo, paying close attention to intonation and timing. If you have a tuner and a metronome, use both.
Good luck!

yup...
play it in tune, and in time, even if that means you have to do it at a snail's tempo.
I mentioned this in another thread where someone remarked how easy the chromatic scale is. If that's true, then why do so many players play it out of tune? If it were that easy, why would the audition panel want to hear you play it?? Because it's harder than people think it is to do RIGHT.
Another thing..
stay consistent with your articulations. make every note sound like the one before it (same attack, note length, volume). Like Erik said.. SLOW DOWN and do it right.
Good luck.
PS... chromatics are something you should work on regularly, not just for upcoming auditions. Just a thought.

Hey, don't worry about the audition. Someone once said, "If not making it (all state , in your case) is the worst thing that happens to you, you'll have a pretty good life." So RELAX, and good luck!
Let us know how things turn out!

Nervousness is very normal. That's why the first audition is usually the hardest. But now that you have that out of the way, you can work towards the next one. Just take what you learned this time into the next time!

I've heard LOTS of great things about The Inner Game of Tennis. I really should pick it up.
