Collegium Musicum Choir: Voice Placements 2020
All new members are required to make a time for a voice placement. For the Voice Placement you simply need to prepare a simple song to sing unaccompanied, such as Happy Birthday, Advance Australia Fair, Scarborough Fair, Waltzing Matilda, a hymn, a christmas carol or a song in a language other than English!
This is a very casual process so please don't be intimidated. We just need to know whether your voice is more suited to singing high or low.
The UNSW Orchestra auditions all of its members at the beginning of the academic year and auditions any new members at the beginning of each academic term.
