1060: Mastering Auditions Through Technique and Intonation with Daniel Chiva Sanz

https://traffic.libsyn.com/contrabassconversations/Daniel_Chiva_Sanz_mixdown.mp3

In this episode, Daniel Chiva Sanz shares his journey of mastering musical auditions by focusing on technical precision and intonation. Two years ago, after a failed audition at the Seattle Symphony, he realized that his practice method needed restructuring. The result is ‘The School of Patience,’ an exercise series that develops the intonational security required to develop a professional level of playing and win auditions.
