Auditions

Auditions for the 2010/2011 performing season are scheduled for May 1, May 8, and May 15,2010

Auditions for the Saskatoon Children's Choir are open to all children who love to sing or would like to learn more about singing through the SCC experience. While some previous vocal or music training is advantageous, it is not a requirement. Many choristers who are new to music training are able to demonstrate a natural aptitude for singing at the audition.

Applicants must be between the ages of 7 - 16.

There is no fee for auditions.

Selected choristers will be placed in one of three choirs:

	1)	Preparatory Choir				(ages 7 - 9)
	2)	Apprentice Choir				(ages 8 - 13)
	3)	Concert Choir				(ages 10 - 16)

The audition is approximately ten minutes and designed to be a friendly, positive experience for all participants. At the audition you will meet with the artistic director, Phoebe Voigts. She will ask you to echo melodies, clap rhythms, and perform several ear training exercises. You do not need to prepare anything ahead of time. Singers auditioning for the preparatory choir will be asked to sing simple melodies and explore with the director beginning level rhythm patterns.

You will be notified of your audition results by mail after all applications have been processed and the choristers have been selected.
