Pre-Audition Solo Workshop
Limited to 50 students for each workshop.
Students who are thinking of auditioning to be a soloist are encouraged to attend the Pre-Audition Solo Workshop. This is not a pre-requisite of auditioning, however, the aim of this workshop is to help work on pitch and rhythm accuracy, to learn and understand what we are looking for at the audition. Get tips on “how to be the best you can be”, to learn how to rehearse with the app and to find out what to expect at the audition.
Families or Choir Teachers can book students in to the Pre-Audition Solo Workshop.
Tuesday 6 May at PSMF Klemzig, 28 Hay Street from 4:15pm - 5:45pm
OR
Wednesday 14 May at Darlington PS, 9-11 White Cres, SEACOMBE GARDENS from 4:15pm - 5:45pm
Bookings are capped at 50 students.
Please note you will need to complete one Pre-Audition form per student.
