Audition Process

List of 6 frequently asked questions.

• Where are rehearsals held?

  Rehearsals are currently being held virtually via monitored Zoom sessions. You will be given specific days and times based on the choir you are placed in. Log on information is provided at that time as well.
  
  Parents are urged to log your child on to Zoom rehearsals and oversee their participation. For your child to be successful, it is important to have them sitting in a chair in a quiet room free of distractions.

  Rehearsals will take place virtually via Zoom in 6-week semester increments.

  There is a $60 non-refundable registration fee for the 2020-2021 season.
  
  Tuition for virtual classes/rehearsals will be $125 per 6-week session. 
  
  Young Singers is a not-for-profit organization which relies on fundraising, community support and tuition in order to provide services to the community. Your financial commitment is, therefore, vital to the success of the organization.
  
  All fees paid to Young Singers are non-refundable, in whole or in part, and are non-transferrable.

• Is financial aid available?

  Need-based financial assistance is available for eligible families. Financial assistance awards are limited to the funds available each year. Financial assistance applications are reviewed in confidence and need-based awards are granted at the discretion of the review committee and is subject to fund availability. Anonymity of the applicant and confidentiality of financial information are maintained throughout the review process and thereafter.
  
  After your singer has been accepted into Young Singers, you will be provided with information on how to apply for financial aid.
  
  For more information about financial aid, please contact our office at (561) 651-4429 or email information@yspb.org.

• How can parents be involved?

  Young Singers could not exist without the active involvement and participation of the parents. Communication between Young Singers and the parents is very important. Parents are urged to log your child on to Zoom rehearsals and oversee their participation. For your child to be successful, it is important to have them sitting in a chair in a quiet room free of distractions.
  
  In addition, YSPB news and updates are sent to the parents every week via e-mail. In order to ensure that you receive all correspondence, please keep the office informed of any change in your e-mail address. These changes can be sent to information@yspb.org.
