Applications are due by Friday 14th November 2014

Becoming a member of a NYCoS National Choir involves:

• attending an informal audition
• attending the week-long residential course in Musselburgh
• performing an end-of-course concert and additional engagements as applicable

Auditions

Members of NYCoS National Choirs are admitted to the choir by audition. Some boys and girls can be a little nervous about auditioning but there really isn’t any need to be. We’ve had lots of experience at putting young singers at ease and remember, we’ll be listening out for what you do well.

What to sing at the audition

• Bring a song you have learned and can sing well; your singing or class teacher should be able to advise you on suitable repertoire. We strongly suggest you do not sing songs from musicals as these often don’t show off the full vocal potential.
• An accompanist will be provided.
• Applicants will be given simple exercises to sing to test the range of their voices.

All applicants are offered an audition so it’s never too early to start practising.

Audition Locations and Times
Depending on numbers auditions may be held in Aberdeen, Dumfries, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness. The opportunity to audition by video link may be available to island dwellers.
We’ll confirm exact details with applicants no later than Friday 19th December 2014.
