What we calibrate for violinists

  • Concerto-grade dimension scoring

    Tone, intonation, rhythm, tempo, and musicality scored on the same rubric a real conservatory or all-state panel uses. No generic 'good job' — bar-specific notes only.

  • Caprice-aware drill prescriptions

    Paganini, Wieniawski, Sevcik — the Judge knows which etudes target which weak dimensions and queues a 20-minute daily drill for the gap it heard.

  • Section-context calibration

    First chair vs. back stand expectations differ. Set your audition target and the rubric tightens or loosens against the standard for that chair.
