Singers in Grade 4 who are new to the Youth Singers program should register for KIDAZZLE. KIDAZZLE is a program for singers in Grades 3 and 4. Grade 4 kids are also eligible to register for KIDZXPRESS, a Grade 4 to 6 division, after a Placement Interview. Please see the KIDAZZLE and KIDZXPRESS Comparison Chart for more information. All new singers will be prompted to book a Placement Interview upon registration.
Returning singers who are going into Grade 4 may register in either KIDAZZLE or KIDZXPRESS. Please consider the staff recommendation you will have received by May 15, 2024, and review the Comparison Chart carefully when choosing the best division for your child.
Placement Interviews-If you are a new singer in KIDZXPRESS, JUNIOR HI, SENIOR HI, or ACT3 (or you are moving up from one division to the next), please schedule your placement interview by emailing yscadmin@youthsingers.org. after you have completed your registration (this link will also be emailed to you).
Registration fees only cover half of total program costs; your tuition is subsidized through volunteering and working bingos.
Volunteering and bingos are required, but you may optout for a fee. Opt-out fees are non-refundable.

We require all singers/families in our core divisions (KIDAZZLE, KIDZXPRESS, JUNIOR HI, SENIOR HI, ACT3) to complete a certain number of bingos or buy out at a rate of $110/bingo.
