audition Information

The first step in the enrollment process for 4–12th graders is to schedule a free audition. Prior to the start of the semester, a member of our artistic team will conduct a 10-15 minute individual audition over Zoom. 

Auditions are relaxed and informal. Acceptance and placement are based on vocal ability and music reading experience, though a love of singing and enthusiasm for music are the most important requirements. Choristers are re-evaluated annually to assess their progress and determine their readiness for placement into more advanced chorus levels. Audition FAQ’s are located below.

Where do auditions take place?

Auditions take place over Zoom. A Zoom link will be emailed to you before your audition.

What preparation is needed?

No preparation is necessary for the audition, and they are free. Auditions are simply designed to gauge a child’s basic skill level in the areas of ear training and vocal independence, as well as some simple sight-reading for those eligible for Intermediate Choir (grades 6–8) or Premier Choir (grades 7–12). Some previous experience is expected for Premier Choir.

Can parents sit in on the audition?

Auditions are one-on-one with the artistic staff member, but singers can have a parent or other family member present for comfort, if needed.

what happens after the audition?

Families are generally informed right after the audition if their child is accepted, and which choir level would best suit their current skills. Registration and tuition information will be emailed afterward.

We look forward to meeting you!
