Choral Ensemble Audition Process

As the audition is a placement audition, you may be placed in an ensemble other than the one you are auditioning for (if your schedule allows).

In the audition, you will:

  • Œ Sing a prepared vocal solo (may be without the accompaniment)
  •  Sing simple vocal exercises
  • Ž Sing tonal and rhythmic patterns
  •  Sight-read a melody or your vocal part in a choral score

Prepare a vocal solo of your choosing. Choose music that you can perform comfortably to best demonstrate your musical and vocal skills. Acceptable repertoire includes art songs, folk songs, and arias.

NOTE: Copies of “America the Beautiful” will be provided for those without other choices of solo repertoire. Also available here (in B-flat).

Sign up for an audition time using this online Choral Audition Form and arrive 10 minutes early. Students under consideration for Cantoria will be asked to sing in a group “callback” after their individual audition.
