Become a Part of the Raleigh Boychoir
The Raleigh Boychoir is always eager to welcome new boys into our program! Each year the choir holds scheduled auditions when boys and their parents can come to the Raleigh Boychoir Center, learn more about the choir, and audition with the artistic directors. This is a low-key audition, and no materials need to be prepared in advance. The artistic directors are looking for boys with unchanged voices (generally ages 7-12) and young men through high school age who demonstrate the following traits in their audition:
- A clear, pleasant singing voice
- Innate musical ability
- High level of interest and indication of willingness for real commitment
- Potential stage presence
- Parents or guardians who will support the boy in the Raleigh Boychoir program
As a music education organization, the Raleigh Boychoir is dedicated to working with each boy to help him develop to his full potential.
Tuition for all choirs is due on a year-round basis (two semesters of six months each, with at least a one semester commitment). Tuition for the 2015-2016 season is as follows:
- $690/semester ($115/month) for the Performing Choir; and
- $630/semester ($105/month) for the Resident Choir; and
- $600/semester ($100/month) for the Training Choir; and
- $450/semester ($75/month) for the Young Men’s Ensemble
Tuition can be paid semi-annually in January and July, quarterly, or by a bank draft each month. Tuition must be current in order to continue participation in the Raleigh Boychoir.
Special Considerations
Tuition is reduced for families with two or more boys participating in the choirs.
