For our introductory music classes for 1-6 years and for elementary choirs, no experience is necessary. It is only for our middle and high school choirs that we expect experience, but it doesn't have to be in choir, it can be from learning music reading through piano lessons or as an instrumentalist in band or orchestra.

No preparation is needed. Just bring yourself!

The auditions are low key. Our Artistic Director will run your child through vocal exercises to get a sense of their voice and pitch matching ability.

Those auditioning for our advanced choirs (Premier and Chamber) will also be assessed in sight reading.
