Who is
able to audition?
Auditions
are open to all boys and girls that will be in 1st through 12th
grade in Fall 2018. Students entering first grade must turn 6
before September 1, 2018 in order to be old enough to
participate in our Poco Voce class in Phoenix.
Where do
the auditions take place?
The
Phoenix Children's Chorus rehearsals take place at one of our
two sites in either Phoenix or East Valley. The Phoenix Center
for the Arts is located at 1202 North 3rd Street at the
crossroads of 3rd Street and Moreland on the east end of Hance
Deck Park just south of McDowell in Phoenix. A sign on the
front door will give the room where the auditions take place in
the building. Our new East Valley location is at Chandler
Gilbert Community College 2626 E. Pecos Road Chandler 85225 in the
Performing Arts Center.
Does my
child need to prepare anything for the audition?
No. The
child will go before the Music Directors who will ask the child
to match pitch by playing a few notes on the piano for the
child to repeat a cappella (without accompaniment). We now
teach the child a new song that they sing for their audition.
Then if the child can read music they will be given the
opportunity to demonstrate that ability.
Does my
child need to have a music background?
No, we are looking for children who have a clear and pleasant
singing voice, love to sing and can match pitch. We are a
choral music education organization and teach the child how to
sing chorally.
May I go
into the audition room with my child?
We prefer to hear the child alone. The music staff specializes
in working with children and will put the child at ease, so
that the child can do their best and have a fun experience.
How long
will the audition last?
The audition process takes 1 1/2 hours. It includes an
orientation about our program, a group sing and an individual
audition. We ask that parents fill out some information for our
files and be available to answer any questions about the
organization that you might have. Please be on time so that we
may keep to the schedule.
How will
I be notified of the audition result?
Everyone who auditions will receive an email giving the
audition results and possible choir placement for your child.
