You might get to sing on the big stage someday, but first you'll need to sing for us!

When you sing with the Colorado Children's Chorale, you just never know where you'll end up. Our five choirs feature 350 talented kids. As these young performers grow and learn, they entertain in a variety of venues, from community concerts in their early years to the possibility of national and international tours as they progress through our programs. Auditions are held annually for children entering second through fifth grades in the fall. Our choirs are made up of children from all social, economic and ethnic backgrounds.  Annual tuition covers performance training and music education that members receive, including more than 50 hours of high-caliber music instruction

Prep

What to sing

Butterflies in your stomach? Tell them to get lost!

Auditions are simple and fun.  They're designed to check for voice range and quality. Boys and girls should be prepared to a sing a song of their choice. Here are a few ideas, if you are interested: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star/ABC Song, the first verse of America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee,) OR the first verse of America the Beautiful. Accompaniment and/or sample audition is included to use for practicing and/or recording a video audition.

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star/ABC Song
Piano accompaniment

Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are

America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee)
Piano accompaniment

My country,'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the pilgrims' pride!
From every mountainside,
Let freedom ring!

Listen to this sample audition of America

America the Beautiful
Piano accompaniment

O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

I take pride in telling people that I was in the Colorado Children's Chorale and wish all the best experiences to the thousands of kids in the future.
