It shoul be approximately 3-5 minutes in length,in any style,which emonstrates your instrumental proficiency an your overall musicianship. Do not choose a piece or a style of music you think the auition team wants to hear. Rather,select a piece that puts your "best foot forwar" an highlights what you feel represents your best playing. Ultimately,the auition is a iscovery process an we want to fin out what you o well. 準備曲目：伯克利音樂學院接受并尊重各自風格的音樂，所以你只需要準備那些讓你覺得舒服的，能展現(xiàn)你作為一個音樂家才能的曲目即可。試聽大概 3-5 分鐘長，可以是任何風格，只要能展現(xiàn)你的樂器熟練度和整體音樂家素質(zhì)。不用選擇那些你認為審理官可能會喜歡聽的樂曲和風格。相反，你只要選擇自己能盡力而為的，突出你特長的曲目。最后，試聽是一個過程，讓審理官發(fā)現(xiàn)你最棒方面的過程。

It is recommene to seek the guiance of your private instructor an/or musical mentor when selecting your prepare piece. Here are some examples an aitional guielines that may help when selecting your prepare piece:

1. A tune from a well-known artist or ban (any style)
2. A stanar or jazz tune (which may inclue blues an rhythm changes) with your own improvisation
3. A composition from the instrumental/voice repertoire or an aria or musical theater selection
4. A transcription of a well-known artist's solo 建議申請人在挑選準備曲目時，向自己的音樂指導(dǎo)老師尋求一些建議。下面的幾個例子和一些額外的指導(dǎo)建議，有可能會在你選擇曲目時有幫助：
5. 一首來自知名音樂家或樂隊的曲子（任何風格）
6. 一支你即興創(chuàng)作的標準或 jazz 曲目（可以包含 blues 或者韻律變化）
7. 一首作曲，可以是樂器或者歌唱曲目，或者詠嘆調(diào)，或者是音樂劇選曲
8. 一首知名音樂獨奏的改編曲目

If composing or songwriting is your primary focus,you may choose to play an original piece that showcases your iniviual style. However,the original piece shoul be no longer than three (3) minutes,an you shoul also prepare a secon piece from the above listing (no longer than 3 minutes). 如果作曲和寫歌是你的主要方向，你可以選擇一首展現(xiàn)個人風格的原創(chuàng)曲目。但是原創(chuàng)曲目不能超過三分鐘，同時你仍然需要準備一首上面列表中的類型的曲目（不超過三分鐘） If you require accompaniment for your prepare piece you may bring an accompanist,play-a-long CD or MP3 player. It is not recommene to use the original tracks of artists or bans as play-a-longs. If you are playing to a track,it is preferre that you use stanar play-a-long/music-minus-one or karaoke tracks so that you are not playing your part along with the part on the recoring.
