Individual Assessments
To help us keep track of each singer's progress, we meet
with the following students in May for an individual assessment:
Training Choir
members who will be ten by December 30th, or who have sung with the Training
Choir for 3 years;
Choristers who
will be twelve by September 30th, or who have sung with the Choristers for 3
years
During these assessments we ask our students to sing a vocal
warm-up (so we can hear their range), a song from the PCC Spring Concert, and a
canon (e.g., Row Your Boat). These assessments help us to complete our
End-of-Year reports, and also give us the opportunity to make decisions about
placement for the following year.
Placement is based on the following:
a) Conduct during rehearsals
b) Musical ability
c) Development of the voice
d) Age
