Voice Placement

All new singers & past singers who have been away from the choir for more than two consecutive seasons are required to participate in a simple voice placement to assess basic skills and help the director decide which voice part fits you best. We keep this process as low-stress as possible! 

​

This process  will consist of a 15-minute meeting with the director, who will check range, determine your best voice part, and assess tone quality. These will be evaluated through a series of vocal exercises, listening to you sing Happy Birthday, and determining how well you are able to learn a short excerpt of your part in a piece of choral music. We will also test basic sight reading skills, but this is not a deal breaker.

​

Voice placement will be held at the beginning of each season and will be done in person during rehearsal time.

​

What are we looking for in new singers?

• Good pitch and rhythm

• Ability to blend with other voices

• Desire to work hard as part of an ensemble

​

If you are accepted into the choir, you will be asked to agree to a singer contract, which outlines what we all agree to do in order to make our community work well as a group.
