Thinking about teaching music, performing music or entering the field of music therapy?
Why study choral and vocal at ACC?
Smaller classes means more individual attention.
Excellent preparation for your transition to a four-year university to complete your degree.
ACC has low tuition rates – a fraction of University expense.
The Audition Process
Auditioning for the choral program is an easy process. Just contact the Director, Virginia Volpe, to set up a time. Phone number is 512-223-4008 and email is virginia.volpe@austincc.edu.
Our program is open to current ACC students as well as the general Austin community. Non-ACC students may enroll under the Continuing Education Department, and high school students may enroll under the Early College Start Program.
- Prepare a short a musical selection in any style
- You will sing a few basic vocal exercises
- You may be asked to sight read in order to assess you music reading skill level.
That’s all there is to it. The audition will only last a few minutes, and will NOT take place in a room full of judges.
Classes
You may register as a MUSIC MAJOR for academic credit OR register as a Continuing Education singer for non-credit. The classes are the same, there are just two different routes to enroll.
