About Boston City Singers Auditions

Boston City Singers is looking for promise and dedication in its new members. Auditions are a positive experience for all children regardless of skill level. No experience is necessary for participation in our training choruses. An audition is a way for the Director to find out as much as possible about a child's musical interest and to place them at a level appropriate to their skills. Many children do not have highly developed vocal skills, particularly at an early age. For younger children, parents can prepare their child by assuring them that an audition is a friendly experience and that the audition generally takes about 10 minutes, during which the potential members will be asked to:

  • Read a short paragraph
  • Sing a simple piece
  • Repeat a simple rhythm
  • Talk with the Director for a few minutes

Trained voices and sight reading skills are not required for the younger groups, as the choral training program provides vocal training, ear training, sight-singing skills and choral discipline through the services of vocal coaches and support from our seasoned Concert Chorus Mentors. However, some experience is necessary for admission to the more advanced levels. Qualifications include accurate intonation (the ability to sing in tune), general musicality, and very strong motivation. After acceptance, repeat auditions are held periodically as singers move through the various training levels.
