The Children’s Chorus of Collin County will be holding auditions for the Spring 2012 Season. The Children’s Chorus is for students in 4th-6th grades, and the Youth Chorus is for students in 7th-11 grades.
The Chorus is a non-profit organization and is tuition based. Rehearsals are on Monday evenings, September - May in Plano. Membership selection is by audition.
Each audition will take around 10-15 minutes. It will be informal and no previous experience or preparation is needed. The audition will consist of a short vocalizing session that will focus on the singing voice as well as posture and breathing. There will also be a few exercises that deal with repetitions of vocal and rhythmic patterns, singing in parts, and sight singing.
Qualifications for membership in the Chorus are a clear singing voice, a strong sense of pitch, musical and vocal readiness, emotional maturity, good attitude, and ability to focus. There must also be a commitment to regular attendance at rehearsals and performances.
I will ask your child to sing something for me without accompaniment. They may sing something of their own choosing or a familiar song, such as "Happy Birthday".
I will tell you at the close of the audition whether or not your child has been accepted into the Chorus. If you wish to go ahead and make a commitment to the Chorus at that time, you may do so by signing a commitment form and paying a $50 non-refundable deposit which will be applied to the $250 tuition which is due on or before January 9, 2012.
