Orchestral playing, like solo and chamber music playing, has its specific standing in performing artsfield. Although there are courses designed for orchestral playing from elementary to graduate school in Taiwan, the professional training resources are still very insufficient compared to those in Japan, Korea, and Western countries. For Taiwanese musicians who target professional orchestral playing as their lifetime career, it is hard to receive help from the preparing process by themselves due to the lack of systematic researches on both academic and practical levels. This dissertation will take three main professional orchestras in Taiwan: National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra, Taipei Symphony Orchestra, and National Symphony Orchestra as examples to discuss about the audition process and repertoire. It will also collect related articles and interview several experienced musicians on how to prepare/practice for orchestral audition. Hope to serve as a guideline andprovide general integration for those interested in professional orchestral playing.
