About Auditions

All children interested in joining Central Dakota Children’s Choir must audition. Auditions are with one or more of our directors. No previous vocal training, choral experience or the ability to read music is necessary to audition. Children do not need to prepare an audition song. During the audition, the director will lead a small group of children in singing – both as a group and possibly individually – “America,” “Are You Sleeping?” and some echo singing. The directors listen for the singer’s ability to match pitch, follow directions, sing with confidence and blend as a singer in the choir. Our directors try to make the process as fun and stress-free as possible for young singers.
