What is a Choir Placement Hearing?

• Most importantly, it is a chance for the choir faculty to meet you!  We also will determine into which section (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) to place you.
• You can expect your Choir Placement Hearing to include the following:
  • a quick voice range check
  • a short piece of music, such as "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" or "Happy Birthday"
  • a few listening and pitch matching exercises 
  • a simple sight-reading exercise
