AUDITIONS
Come join the award-winning Northwestern Michigan College Children's Choir! Students entering Kindergarten through grade 9 this fall, who love to sing and want to improve their abilities, are invited to audition for NMC's award-winning Children's Choir program.
Auditions are held in June and September each year. The audition involves singing the first verse of "America the Beautiful" and performing simple vocal exercises. Student placement in one of the five choirs depends on both chronological age and musical and vocal readiness. Schedule a 5-minute audition by visiting our Calendly Site.
Auditions are only required for new students entering grades 3 to 9. Students in K-2nd may enroll in Prelude or Dolce Choirs without an audition. Registration opens in July.
The NMC Children's Choir also accepts new students in Prelude, Dolce, and Bel Canto Choirs in January. Please email for more information.
