Chris Martin & Joe Alessi, Part 2: On Auditions and Being a Successful Student

In Part 2 of our conversation, Joe and Chris discuss their own auditions and give insights that I think could be very valuable to students who will be taking auditions in the future. In addition, since both played with the Philadelphia Orchestra (at different times), they speak about how the principal players at the time, Glenn Dodson and David Bilger, became mentors for them. They also compare how they practiced as students compared to now and, finally, qualities that they see in great students.
