scenario: you're asked to prepare a 3-5 minute "prepared piece" for an music school (college level) audition.
I'm interested to hear how ya'll would start on this. what's your process?
personally I usually start by improvising within a certain structure, beat, or sticking pattern, and then elaborate on whatever ideas might have surfaced and try to take it from there. I'm feeling a need to switch up this process, so I thought I'd throw it out there and see how other people go about "composing" short solo pieces.
