AUDITIONS:
The Chattanooga Girls Choir invites girls in the 4th through 12th grades to audition for membership in the choir.
(Please note that auditions are not required for our 3rd-grade choir.)
The audition takes approximately 15 minutes and consists of a written evaluation of music fundamentals (ability to read and understand music) followed by a brief appraisal of vocal ability.
Each girl is asked to perform a song at her audition that she knows and is comfortable singing. "My Country ‘Tis of Thee" is one song that the CGC recommends for auditions.
The primary factors in deciding a girl's readiness for the choir are:
| * | a pleasing voice |
| * | mastery of pitch and rhythm |
| * | a mastery of music fundamentals (for 6th grade and up only) |
| * | an indication that the child wants to sing with the Girls Choir enough to make the necessary commitment of time and effort |
If a girl is not accepted as a member of the choir after her first audition, she will receive suggestions for skills to work on. It is not uncommon for a girl to improve her musical abilities over a period of a few months, reaudition, and be accepted into the choir.
Auditions for the Chattanooga Girls Choir are held in April and May each year, with mid-year auditions in December by special request.
