AUDITIONS
Dr Sirett is holding auditions for next season in May 2012, at the following times:
- Training Choir (age 8-9) the audition will consist of pitch matching, rhythm matching, singing a short song (such as “O Canada”). Reading knowledge of music is not required, however, the child must be able to read words.
- Children’s Choir (age 10-13) pitch matching, singing back intervals, singing back a brief melody, clapping back rhythms. Elementary music reading skills expected. The child should prepare a brief song to sing without accompaniment (such as a folk song or something the singer has learned in school).
- Young Women’s Choir (gr. 8-highschool) please prepare a brief song to sing without accompaniment (a folk song is preferable), reading ability will be tested, and finally vocal exercises to test range, flexibility, and blend.
- Young Men’s Chorus (highschool changed voices) please prepare a brief song to sing without accompaniment (a folk song is preferable), reading ability will be tested, and finally vocal exercises to test range, flexibility, and blend.
- Women’s Chorus/men’s chorus (ADULTS) please prepare a brief song to sing without accompaniment (a folk song is preferable), reading ability will be tested, and finally vocal exercises to test range, flexibility, and blend. Adults auditioning for the Men/Women’s Chorus should be prepared to sight-read. Please note: sight reading is not the major component of your audition, so do not be discouraged! Rather, it is an opportunity for us to get a sense of your reading skills.
