ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Choral music program at Murray Middle School provides excellent opportunities for students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Students will explore performance and production, site reading, historical and cultural elements of music, and music appreciation. Students in SJCCA chorus will have several performance opportunities throughout the year.
Participating in a chorus, combined with the abilities learned in music theory, piano, and voice training, helps young students develop the discipline, tenacity, and poise necessary for success in the arts.

Audition Information:
Auditions for the 2024-2025 school year will be held on January 27th, 2024. Please see below for how to best prepare for your choral auditions:
Students will audition individually in the order in which they arrive. Students should prepare a one minute long song of their choice. (You must bring your own track on a flash drive or have a karaoke version of the song ready to play on YouTube). If you cannot think of a song, you can sing “God Bless America” acapella, (without the song playing). For choir auditions, I will also be asking you to echo various intervals and testing your vocal range: how high and low you can go. These auditions will be very casual. I am just looking for potential and desire to sing!
