AUDITIONS
Come join the award-winning Northwestern Michigan College Children's Choir for its 33rd season! Students entering Kindergarten through grade 9 this fall, who love to sing and want to improve their abilities, are invited to participate in NMC's award-winning Children's Choir program.
Auditions are held in June and September each year. Auditions for students joining in Fall 2022 will be held June 7 & 9, from 6:00-8:00pm at Northwestern Michigan College. Additional auditions are held September 8 & 10, 2022. The audition involves singing the first verse of "America the Beautiful" and performing simple vocal exercises. Student placement in one of the seven choirs depends on both chronological age and musical and vocal readiness. Schedule a 5-minute audition by calling the NMC Extended Education Office (231) 995-1700.
Auditions are only required for new students entering grades 3 to 9. Students in K-2nd may enroll in Overture, Prelude or Dolce Choirs without an audition. Registration opens August 12, 2021.
The NMC Children's Choir also accepts new students in Overture, Prelude, Dolce, and Bel Canto Choirs in January. Please call (231) 995-1700 for more information.
