Choir Auditions 2024-2025 Information
Hello! My name is Mrs. Jessica Heinrich and I am the Choir Director here at Geneva High School. I am so excited for next school year! All students are not required to audition but if you would like to see if you place in an advanced choir you are welcomed to audition! Choirs will be placed by ability level and NOT by talent level. Different choirs focus on different aspects of choral development. You will be placed in the choir that will help you progress the most efficiently. It is kind of similar to math class, you can not take Geometry if you don’t properly understand the content of Algebra first. If you test out of Algebra you get automatically placed in Geometry. Choir is very similar. Choir Auditions will be due by February 19th.
The different choral levels are as follows:
Entry Level Mixed Choir: Viking Chorus
Intermediate Treble Choir: Belle Voix
Advanced Level Mixed Choir: Nordic Voices
Audition Process
The audition process will be as follows. Students will prepare “All That Hath Life and Breath”, scales, triads, and sight reading.
1. Sebben Crudele: Students will prepare this piece prior to the audition. Please stick with the key provided. It does NOT need to be memorized. For this song I am looking for correct pitches, but more importantly a nice tone (i.e. vowel shapes and breath support) and elements of musicianship (i.e. dynamics, accents, legato etc.). Please record yourself singing with the accompaniment.

2. Sight Reading: Students will be required to complete a Sight-Reading Factory Audition Excerpt. Please check Schoology and it should be available currently. You will get 10 chances. If you are NOT in choir currently, please only submit Sebben Crudele, and then Mrs. H will contact you if she needs a sight reading example from you.
Audition Results
Auditions results will be released on the WWW.GenevaHSChoirs.weebly.com website. It will be posted under Choir Auditions.
