Frequently Asked Questions
About Phoenix Children's Chorus Auditions

Who is able to audition?  Auditions are open to all boys and girls in 2nd
through 12 grades.  

How do I sign my child up for an audition?
You may either fill out and submit the online form via this web site
(preferred), or call 602-534-3788 to make an appointment. Please mark you
home calendar with this appointment date and time.

Where do the auditions take place?
The Phoenix Children's Chorus rehearsals take place in the Phoenix Center
for the Arts at 1202 North 3rd Street at the crossroads of 3rd Street and
Moreland on the east end of Hance Deck Park just south of McDowell in
downtown Phoenix. A sign on the front door will give the room where the
auditions take place in the building

Does my child need to prepare anything for the audition?
No. The child will go before the Music Directors who will ask the child to
match pitch by playing a few notes on the piano for the child to repeat
acappella (without accompaniment). We now teach the child a new song that
they sing for their audition. Then if the child can read music they will be given
the opportunity to demonstrate that ability.

Does my child need to have a music background?
No. We are looking for children who have a clear and pleasant singing voice,
love to sing and can match pitch. We are a choral music education
organization and teach the child how to sing chorally.

May I go into the audition room with my child?
We prefer to hear the child alone. The music staff specializes in working with
children and will put the child at ease, so that the child can do their best and
have a fun experience.

How long will the audition last?
The audition process takes 1 1/2 hours. It includes an orientation about our
program, a group sing and an individual audition. We ask that parents fill out
some information for our files and be available to answer any questions about
the organization that you might have. Please be on time so that we may keep
to the schedule.

When will I be notified of the audition result?
Everyone who auditions will receive a letter giving the audition results and
possible choir placement for your child.

question you may have about membership in the Phoenix Children's
Chorus, please see the rest of this website or call 602-534-3788.
