Teacher Recommendation
We would like your help in identifying boys who would be good candidates for the Lincoln Boys Choir. The choir is composed of boys in grades three to high school/ college from all schools in Lincoln and the surrounding area. The boys explore many different styles of fine choral music and learn to develop their best vocal sounds in ways that are healthy for their voices. This is an outstanding choir. The standards for membership are high, but we know there are boys in your school who sing well.
Audition Criteria used:
Sing a song of their choice. Happy Birthday or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star are fine.
Voice range: Elementary - approximately middle C to the E on the 4th space of treble staff, Middle school - approximately middle C to F on top line of treble staff
Vocal quality (tone, beauty of sound)
Listening skills (ability to match a pitch of a note)
Pitch recall (ability to sing back patterns of notes)
Ability to sing in an unchanged boy’s voice
Weekly Rehearsals
The choir typically follows the Lincoln Public Schools calendar.
Regular rehearsals are Thursdays at Saint Paul United Methodist Church 11th & M streets. We are artists in residence at Saint Paul UMC.
