The Joint Music Program choirs will audition singers for Spring 2025 beginning the week of November 4, 2024, before Preregistration for Spring 2025 Semester.

The choir program will audition sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses (subject to openings in each part, but especially seeking tenors and basses) for the Claremont Concert Choir (MUS 173) and Claremont Treble Singers (MUS 176) rehearsing together, MW 7:00-8:30 pm.  

An audition for the choirs takes about 10 minutes and consists of vocalizing, some pitch memory ear games, singing a short, familiar tune unaccompanied (like “Happy Birthday,” “My Country ‘Tis of Thee,” “Amazing Grace, or another lyrical song of your choosing), and trying some sight singing.  No prepared piece is required beyond what is outlined above, although you may bring your own melodic piece to sing as the familiar tune.  Successful auditionees sing the familiar tune on key, and either read music or can repeat the pitch ear games well.

For more information or to schedule an audition, you may email the choral director, Professor Kamm (ckamm@scrippscollege.edu or ckamm@hmc.edu).
