Vocalization:   Extension of range to determine your vocal placement.

​

Aural Retention:  Singing back (recalling) a succession of pitches played from the piano.

​

Rhythmic Accuracy:  Clapping selected rhythms.

 

Sight Reading:  Reading at sight, selected melodies, as well as reading a vocal part from a Bach Chorale.

 

 

Members will also be responsible for a yearly membership fee,  music rentals or purchases, as well as performance attire. Members are also required to attend a specific number of rehearsals prior to each performance. This requirement is set yearly by the director.

Prospective members may attend any rehearsal! We would love for you to visit.
