The Audition

What to Expect

A Short, 10-Minute Audition

Those interested are invited to complete a short, 10-minute audition. Here is what the audition entails:

  1. Sing a minute or so of a song of your choice, unaccompanied. It could be an art song, aria, hymn, gospel song, folk song, or spiritual.
  2. Following your solo, you will be asked to sing vocal exercises to help us determine your range, then work through a few exercises that test your ear and musical skills.
  3. 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.

  5. Finally, you will be asked to sight-read a hymn we provide.
