Auditions for the after-school Neighborhood Choir Program are held throughout the months of September and January at each Neighborhood Choir location. There is also a general audition day held at the Chicago Cultural Center in early June.

The audition process for Neighborhood Choirs is quick and simple, open to boys and girls in the 3rd grade and up. A conductor will listen for the singer’s ability to match pitch, check any music reading skills, test for basic movement abilities, and hold one’s voice part against others.

At the Concert Choir level, all entering singers are expected to be able to read music. Particular emphasis is given to singing in tune, being able to hold one’s part in harmony, and singing with confidence. Auditions for this level will focus on these musical aspects and will also include a sight-singing and music theory test.

Auditions for the Concert Choir are held in June for the following school year.
