Thank you for your interest in the choral ensembles at Appalachian State University!
Placement into University Singers, Treble Choir, Appalachian Chorale, or App State Voices requires a brief "Placement Sing." This is an opportunity to share your musical background and interests so we can determine the best ensemble fit for you at this point in your journey. First-year students who completed a vocal audition for the Hayes School of Music do not need to have a Placement Sing and should register for App State Voices (MUS 3535).
More information about all of our choral ensembles at Appalachian State can be found here: https://music.appstate.edu/academics/ensembles/choirs.
Placement Sings will be offered from
3-5 PM on
Monday 8/17,
Tuesday 8/18, and
Wednesday 8/19.
Please sign up for a time below and plan to report to Room 214 at your scheduled time. We recommend arriving a few minutes early, as sessions may run slightly ahead of schedule.
Placement Sings will include:
- Singing a short (2-3 minute), prepared song of your choice that showcases your voice.
- Sight reading.
- Vocalises, if needed.
A pianist will be available if your selection requires accompaniment—please bring a copy of your music. You are also welcome to sing unaccompanied. We encourage you to warm up before arriving.
