Joining the Girls' Choir Print E-mail

Anyone interested in joining the Girls' Choir should contact Lesley Bannister on 01543 306168 to book a place at the next choral scholarship auditions.

On the 21st of January  2012 we will be running a Choral Experience Workshop for girls called 'Be a Chorister for a Day!' This is an excellent opportunity to find out more about the Girls' Choir and the Cathedral School. Call 01543 306168 to book a place on this free workshop.

Places in the Girls' Choir are currently available for audition in January 2012 to start from September 2012.

Internal and external candidates currently in Years 5, 6 or 7 are eligible to audition for a place. Places will be awarded entirely at the School's discretion.

The  Auditon

The next auditions for the Girls' Choir will take place on Saturday 4th February 2012 and will be a friendly and affirmative occasion. Please note, however, that competition for places in past years has been strong, and in some years not all places have been offered.

At the audition, girls will be asked to:

  • sing a prepared short piece of their own choice (please bring a copy of the music - we will provide a pianist);
  • sing a new piece in a choral group (to be taught on the day)
    sing some vocal exercises; and
  • participate in aural exercises (scales, arpeggios, singing back notes, picking out a note from a chord, etc).

Those external candidates that are short-listed for the choir will be required to sit an academic assessment for the School to ensure that they could benefit from the education which the School offers.

If you are interested in auditioning for the Girls' Choir, please get in touch with Lesley Bannister at the School on 01543 306168.
