I am looking for children who are eager to sing and eager to learn. The audition is a very positive and non-threatening experience for everyone. Its aim is to reveal as much as possible about your musical potential. I understand that many children do not possess highly developed musical skills at this early stage in life, but I am eager to meet you and to hear you sing. The audition will involve several tasks that you may or may not have done before, such as tone matching games and voice range exploration.
All children usually do very well.
I gradually increase the complexity of these concepts until you and I are both convinced that you have done your very best. You will be asked to sing a musical selection of your own choice which reflects your musical development. If you are unsure what to choose, O Canada or Happy Birthday are and acceptable alternative. You will be asked to play a short piece which demonstrates your level of proficiency. It is helpful if you arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled time and be sure to double check which of our two audition locations your appointment is scheduled for.
