Solo parts are incorporated into the repertoire at all levels of the choir from Piccolo to Performing Choir. Tutors assess the girls in class throughout the year and nominate choristers for solo auditions based on their vocal, movement and dramatic skills. Solo and special parts are awarded by audition.
Encouraging natural leadership talent has always been an important part of the life of the Australian Girls Choir. We strongly believe in fostering and developing leadership skills and as such, leadership opportunities exist at all levels of the choir.
The leadership system is formalised in Concert Level and above, with Section Leaders and an overall Choir Leader of each state's Performing Choir. These choristers are given responsibilities which include taking vocal warm ups, leading rehearsals and assisting staff at concerts and public performances. Leaders are role models for other girls and are encouraged to act as mentors to younger choristers.
