questionnaire

How did you hear about the Community Choir Leadership Training program?

How would you best describe what you want to learn in this program?

Describe any previous experience you have in working with groups of people, whether with music, or in another context.

Describe any previous music training you have had and whether you play a musical instrument and if so, your level of expertise. Please include a self-evaluation of your knowledge of music theory.
(If we feel that your level of musicianship may not give you the tools you need to do this work we may recommend some additional remedial work in this area prior to acceptance into the program.)

What is your background in singing? Have you ever studied voice?

Do you consider yourself fairly well able to sing a line of music while others are singing other harmony lines?

What is your level of music sight-reading? In answering please use the following guide. (Note that this question assumes that the music lines will not be particularly complicated, but would be about the level that community choirs would have to learn.)

I can quite easily sight-read a line of music the first time I see it.

I can work my way through and after a few minutes I could probably sing it ok.

If I had it overnight I could use a piano (or whatever) to figure it out and sing it ok the next day.

I don’t read music very well and would have trouble figuring it out on my own, but I could find someone to help me with it.

How do you see yourself applying what you learn in the program?

Please include (type in or cut and paste) in this window a one-page summary of your background and interests, including educational background and current occupation or work. Feel free to expand as appropriate on any points from the above questionnaire and include anything not otherwise covered.
