ABOUT THE CHOIRS |
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
1. Study and be ready to sing the following: •Major scale (use solfege, numbers, neutral syllable such as "la") •Chromatic scale (use solfege, neutral syllable or other phrases) •Musical Example. New to choir? Sing Happy Birthday using the recording that best suits you. Current choir members, use the example for your class. 2. Record yourself singing the above elements using the recordings below. The best way to do this is to play it through a computer/tablet and record onto your phone. Voice recorders provided with most mobile phones work nicely for this purpose, as do recorders on computers and iPads/tablets. If you don't have these available to you, study the recordings and make an appointment to use the equipment in Room 91 (appointments can be made here). 3. Fill out this form and attach your recordings. Link: https://tinyurl.com/1819choirform 4. If you are interested in Bellissima, Chamber Chorale or Estetica, please check back here after 6 pm on Monday, April 30. If you have been called back to audition for those groups, you will need to attend the callback on Monday, May 7. More specifics about the callback will be available on 4/23. Anyone interested in these groups must have completed the recording process by April 20; no exceptions will be made unless a personnel change is necessitated. Want to just be in the beginning groups? No audition required! If so, please fill out this form. That's it--done! Questions? Please email Ms. Katemopoulos. |
