How to join
Several times a year the Choir sends staff to many of the primary schools in the suburbs surrounding the rehearsal venues. This is followed by an information day, after which many young students are offered places in the Choir.
Some brief facts regarding auditions:
- The assessment is relaxed and friendly.
- Children's feelings are respected at all times.
- A short presentation is followed by activities and games.
- Children audition in a large group, with no pressure.
- No experience is necessary.
What to expect
Above all the aim of the Choir is to foster a love of choral music and a sense of musical exploration, whilst retaining a degree of fun along the way.
- Fees - Commence at $160 per term for Prelude Choir, and rise with each Level.
- Uniform - After being promoted from Preludes choristers will need to be fitted with a uniform. These can be purchased from the Choir at any time. Parents will be notified of uniform fitting days, which generally happen on a rehearsal night.
- Attendance - Compulsory at rehearsals and performances, and the Choir should be notified of any absences wherever possible.
- Rehearsals - Each group usually rehearses once per week throughout school terms, with the possibility of extra rehearsals leading up to a concert. The venues we use are clean, modern, comfortable and friendly.
- Duty of care - Parents are asked to supervise their own children right up to the rehearsal time, and to collect their child from the rehearsal area. The Choir is responsible for the care of children ONLY during the rehearsal or concert. A Duty of Care Policy is available for perusal from the office upon request.
