Sing With Us
| The
Waukesha Choral Union derives its strength and quality from its
members’ passion for singing. Auditions are held for new voices
interested in learning new works, meeting new people, and making a
commitment to our organization. |
Audition
Process:
When you arrive for
your audition, a member of the Choral Union will greet you and answer
any questions you may have. Although not required, you are
encouraged to sing a small section from a prepared piece of your own
choosing. An accompanist will be provided for your prepared music, so
please bring a second copy of the music for him/her to read from. The
rest of the audition consists of vocal exercises and some simple
sight-reading. Auditions generally last about 10 minutes. |
