Hello CC, I'm a composer in a state-level undergraduate composition program looking for a conservatory (or conservatory-level) graduate program. I'm a year away from finishing my degree but I have no idea how to approach portfolio/audition requirements for a program like SFCM or USC (I'm in California.) I know I want a conservatory education grounded in more traditional classical music with good performers and teachers and an environment with high standards all around. How do I get to a competitive level - what kind of quality of works, and some cases performance, am I expected to produce? Right now it feels like I'm way out of my league and I don't know what I should be doing to change that.
