You could come sing in the Columbus Women's Chorus...non-audition, and a great way to get the voice back into shape! Monday rehearsals, 7-9 pm. ;)

Would you be willing to share those sight-reading and ear-training links? I'm singing in my Unitarian church's choir now, and I'm apparently the only person in the group who hasn't sung in a choir before, and my sight-reading stinks (doesn't help that I have to read the bass clef, where I was weak when I took piano lessons). I'm pretty good at hearing what the other tenors are singing, but if they're not around I'm often lost.

Thanks :)

I'm a sophomore music major (vocal), and I've heard old church hymns are a great way to practice one's sight-singing.

In my experience auditioning for music, difficulty of prepared literature and technical skill and interpretation on that, is more important than site reading. Typically site reading helps you a bit, especially if you get in and you want to place well in the choir, but your pitch and quality of voice and phrasing is probably the most important thing, on prepared literature. All you can do for that is practice every day and build up your voice again! Good luck!
