Auditions
Spring Term auditions
Dates to be confirmed
Open to boys and girls from Year 3 upwards.
Auditions are friendly and informal. A parent stays throughout. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance. But if you want to sing a piece of music that you already know, please bring a copy of the music for the accompanist.
We’re looking for musical potential, so experience isn’t needed. The most important things we look for are an enthusiasm for singing, a willingness to listen and learn, a pleasant-sounding voice, and a good ‘musical ear’.
Contact us if you have any questions.
