Q: Who needs to complete this audition/registration form?  

A: EVERYONE & ANYONE who is wishing to participating NU Choirs. YES, this includes all returning members, and including those who have signed up through MyNEU (The choral Society maintains a list of membership so your leaders can communicate with you).  

​

Q: Who needs to audition? 

A: All new students joining NU Chorus (MUSC 1904) and Small Chamber Ensemble MOSAIC (MUSC 1915) for the first time, AND anyone wishing to join Chamber Singers (all past chamber singers members and choral scholarship recipients need to audition for Chamber Singers). Please read the 2-part audition process below.  

Returning singers, in auditioning for Chamber Singers, do NOT sing the same piece you sang at your last NU choir audition (yes, your song choice was noted at your last audition).  

​

Q: Do I need to register for Choir as a class on MyNEU?  

A: YES. It is a FREE one (1) credit, and this is now a requirement of the university. You need to register through MyNEU before completing this audition/registration form.   

If you’re unsure how to register CHORUS as a class, please go to MyNU and look for MUSC1904 or MUSC1915. 

If you're having trouble adding this as a class, please contact your academic advisor

​

Q:What to sing for my audition?  

A: For Mosaic & Chorus only: Sing a song that best represents your choral/solo singing voice. Please do not sing a contemporary chart  (that is, avoid jazz/pop charts). Some options might be: Danny Boy, America the Beautiful, and so forth. Accompaniment is optional. 

Please do not sing a song of your voice part from a choir song (e.g. don't sing the tenor line from a song you know from your choir). 

Returning singers: do NOT sing the same piece you sang at your last NU choir audition.  [The video recording must  show you singing, not a blank screen or audio file]
