美國留學音樂專業(yè)面試時從以下幾方面做：首先，熟練背誦譜子。我指的是非常細致的背誦，并做到穩(wěn)定的演奏。你要為你的面試做好125%的準備，因為面試的時候，大部分人會損失掉自己25%的真實水平。第二，節(jié)奏和音準一致。穩(wěn)定的節(jié)奏和音準，是音樂的基礎(chǔ)。沒有了節(jié)奏，再花俏的技巧也只能是無源之木、無本之水。千萬不要為了表現(xiàn)自己的個性，而失去節(jié)奏和音準。要研究總譜，注意每一個節(jié)拍、符值、連線。要知道古典音樂演奏方向的教授們，一定不希望你是一個自由發(fā)揮的演奏家。因此，越到最后越是要做到慢練。說起來很容易，可是當你形成習慣，每次急匆匆的彈完，你發(fā)現(xiàn)你根本不會慢下來了。這時候，如果你已經(jīng)體會到問題，可以適當使用節(jié)拍器來糾正壞習慣。第三，音樂風格。這一點我要強調(diào)三遍！比如你在演奏莫扎特曲目的時候，一定不能太過高昂和激蕩，因為莫扎特的風格以細膩、輕盈、含蓄華貴，而有強烈的古典色彩。顯然，如果你把莫扎特的曲子彈得不知道是誰，那你就該打道回府了。第四，強弱對比。這句話可以再分解，該強的強，該弱的弱。簡單來說，就是強弱度要合適。對專業(yè)選手而言，這一點代表著基本水平，因為它隱含著選手對作品的理解。很多學琴的人對此深有體會。如果你總是習慣性地表達過強，那么當曲子演奏到高潮，你是打算刺穿所有面試官的耳膜嗎？反過來說，某個PART強度很弱，你需要弓著身子氣若游絲表達嗎？事實上，強弱的對比一定是基于你對曲子的理解。這一點我認為比目光交流和微笑還要重要和致命。尤其是對于沒有太多舞臺經(jīng)驗的學生，容易在強弱上失控，上臺后自己耳朵聽不見自己的琴聲，更別說面試官了。第五，提前預(yù)演?？梢栽诤门笥鸦蛘呤煜さ膸熼L面前，多做幾次預(yù)演，緩解緊張。第六，穿著得體，舉止得當。小鮮花小鮮肉不能穿戴花枝招展，奇裝異服，過多裝飾，這些我就不再多說了，都get到了吧！第七，準備好向校方提問的有意義的問題。盡可能多做功課，多了解對方院校、教授、專業(yè)、名額，以及各種項目等。第八，提前候場，微笑離場。入場的時候，請以禮貌、友好而自信的目光向在場人員致意。同樣，離場的時候向所有評委表示誠摯感謝，注意目光務(wù)必要到每一個人身上。附上面試演奏的曲目：一、鋼琴曲目1.
