Orchestra Audition Prep vs Perfect Practice

Audition Prep by Pultfrei is a local-first preparation tool for classical musicians preparing orchestra auditions. When you prepare several auditions at once, things get messy fast: excerpt lists from job postings, set pieces, overlapping excerpts, sheet-music PDFs, reference recordings, your own takes and practice notes end up scattered everywhere. Audition Prep brings this preparation together in one clear workflow. You create your auditions, import or enter the excerpt list, and grade every excerpt A/B/C. The app recognizes identical or similar excerpts across auditions — so you instantly see which excerpts count more than once and where practice time has the biggest leverage. For every excerpt you can collect sheet music, PDFs, photos, tempo, reference links, notes, sessions and recordings. Build rounds and play them in audition mode. Especially on iPad, this mode is made to put the device on your music stand, start a round and move from excerpt to excerpt. Preparation is more than playing: a daily, evidence-based tip from practice and performance research, a guided mental training block — breathing reset, centering, visualization with your own excerpts — and a tension check-in that makes your progress measurable. Built-in tuner, metronome with per-excerpt tempo steps, and a recorder are one tap away. A daily practice plan adapts to how many days remain until your audition. Audition Prep is not a generic practice app, not a sheet-music app and not an audio-analysis app. The focus is audition preparation: structure your repertoire, see your priorities and practice in the right context.
