Those interested are invited to complete a short, 10-minute audition. Auditions entail:

  • Singing a minute or so of a song of your choice, unaccompanied. It could be an art song, aria, hymn, or gospel song, or a folk song/spiritual. 
  • Following your solo, you will be asked to sing vocal exercises to help us determine your range, and then you will be taken through a few exercises that test your ear and musical skills. 
  • Next we’ll hear you sing a prepared short choral excerpt from Handel’s Messiah. Further learning materials for this excerpt will be sent to you upon registration. 
  • We’ll then look at a piece of music and ask you to name several different notations, dynamics, and expression markings.
  • Finally, you will be asked to sight-read a hymn we provide.
