What if I'm not comfortable right now performing an audition?
We understand there may be anxiety with auditions, so you're welcome to register and attend either the Treble Voice Choir or the Men's Choirs without an audition. For those who do audition, each person is placed into a choral ensemble. No one is turned away.
-
What can I expect at my audition?
A prepared piece is not required. At the audition you will be asked to vocalize, to hear your range and timbre; perform pitch matching exercises and sight read.
-
How does Texas State decide which choir I am placed in?
During your audition the choral faculty will assess various aspects of your singing and musical skills. Once all auditions have been heard, students will be placed in ensembles based on the students current abilities. Consideration is also given to section balance in each choir.
-
Do I have to register for the ensemble class?
Yes. All choral ensembles are 1-credit classes. It is against University policy to have current Texas State students participate in any class without being registered.
-
Can I register for a choir before auditions?
Yes, you can adjust your schedule as needed based choir placement after auditions.
