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 at one of our two sites in either Phoenix or
Chandler. The Phoenix Center for the Arts, our main location, is located 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. We also have an East Valley site located at Sirrine
Elementary School, 591 West Mesquite Street, Chandler, AZ, 85225-2114.
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.
