What Happens in an Audition?

The audition is a friendly musical interview!  If you choose a “Zoom” audition, we will meet online, have a chat, then sing a few vocal warm ups and some exercises together.  These include echoing melodies and clapping rhythms, pattern recognition and sight singing. (No experience with sight singing required for admission for - it is only for assessment of level for instruction)

If you choose to send a pre-recorded video, follow the instructions in the video above.

What piece do I sing?

Junior and Intermediate Choir: Sing "O Canada" acapella (no piano) (In key of D or E Flat)  

Senior Choir: Sing a prepared piece of music of your choice a capella (no piano) - Choose something you feel comfortable with - can be folk songs, musical theatre, pop, or even singing O Canada is a great choice.
