Audition for SGC
We are now only taking auditions for incoming 4th-6th graders to start in Fall 2026. Incoming 2nd-3rd graders who are interested in auditioning should consider signing up for our Day Camps!
Placement auditions allow us to get acquainted with each candidate and their family! They offer us a chance to hear the candidate’s voice, ability to match pitch, make adjustments to given instructions, and determine potential placement in our program. Auditions are lowkey and offered in a super supportive and positive environment! They last approximately 10 minutes.
Each candidate will be asked to:
- Match single pitches and pitches within chords. Being able to hear a note and sing it back is critical in our audition process and evaluation.
- Echo clapped rhythmic patterns.
- Sing the first verse of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” or Row, Row, Row Your Boat with piano accompaniment (provided by us).
- Sing a song of their choice. This song doesn’t need to be complicated — we simply want to hear something the student enjoys that demonstrates her voice. The song can be 1-2 minutes from a musical, a hymn, a folk song, something from a movie, from school, an art song, or a lighter pop song. Accompaniment/backing tracks are not necessary, and we will only need to hear shorter parts of longer songs. We look for potential, rather than polished performances!
| Age | Choir Level for Consideration |
|---|---|
| Kindergarten – 1st Grade | Piccolini (see our Piccolini registration page here) |
| 2nd – 3rd Grade | Dolcine |
| 4th – 6th Grade with little or no previous choral training | Entrata: this choir level serves as an entry point for 4th-6th graders and is designed to build choristers’ vocal and musical skills before moving into a different choir level the following season. |
| 7th Grade and older | Our upper choir levels are currently full. We unfortunately will not be offering auditions for students 7th grade or older. |
