Fall 2024 Choral Placement Hearing Information
Fall Choral Placement Hearings will take place the week before the semester begins, from Thursday, August 22–Sunday, August 25.
Who should do a hearing?
All School of Music majors for whom voice is their principal instrument must complete a hearing.
Any singer wishing to audition for Ohio University Singers must perform a placement hearing as their audition.
Singers in SMO (tenor-bass choir, MUS 2533/5533) or Bella Voce treble chorus (MUS 2534/5534) do not need to do a placement hearing in advance; they may enroll in those classes and will receive their voice part assignments during the first week of classes.

What happens at the hearing?
- Please arrive 10 minutes early at Glidden 446 (School of Music building) to fill out a digital Choral Placement Hearing Form

What happens after the hearing?
- Singers will receive an email from the Choral Program by 8:00 am, Monday, August 26 informing them of their choral placement. At that point, they should add the appropriate ensemble(s) to their schedule for the maximum allowable credit hours.
