New members are accepted into each of our youth choirs through a placement interview. This is a low stress meeting with one of our directors. No preparation is necessary, but you may bring a song to share if you wish. Through rhythm games, guided singing, and other exercises, we learn about your child’s voice and determine which choir level is the best fit for learning and growth, with just the right amount of challenge. You will be able to ask any questions and learn about our choir season, rehearsal and concert schedule, volunteer opportunities, and more, and receive all the information you need to join.
