A simple sign up for Auditions and Inquiries for the Piedmont Youth Chorus Spring Semester 2023.
The Vocal Placement Interview is a way for the conductor to get to know our future singers. PYC aims to establish a welcoming environment so that we may best support our young musicians and their goals. The audition will take approximately 5 minutes.
In the audition you can expect the following:
- Answer questions about musical background and personal strengths.
- Sing a vocal selection of your choosing. Examples of songs could be Happy Birthday, The Star-Spangled
- Banner, Row, Row, Row Your Boat, etc. There is no accompanist at the interview, so be prepared to sing acappella.
- Echo back some short, simple melodies.
- Sing along with some vocal exercises with the conductor.
