Requesting an Audition:
To request an audition please complete our Online Audition Form or contact the Choir Manager at 416-762-0657 or info@highparkchoirs.org with parents’ names, address, phone number, child’s name, age and grade. We will contact you to schedule an audition.
What does an audition involve?
Each audition is approximately 10 minutes, and generally involves some note recognition testing (ie. the conductor will play a short tune and ask the auditioner to sing it back), echo clapping, singing of a common song (usually Oh Canada) for tone quality and testing of range with some basic scales.
You will be provided with registration materials and information regarding rehearsal times etc. at the audition if your child is accepted into the choir. If your child is on the cusp of two different choir divisions, their placement will be determined by audition.
What should I bring?
Please bring a small PHOTO OF YOUR CHILD to the audition so that the director can more easily remember and identify him/her after the audition.
You can also print and bring a paper audition form. Please attach your child’s photo. There will also be Audition Forms provided at the audition.
