Why did you decide to audition for Juniors?

I enjoyed the open day and the kind of things they did and met people who were like-minded and enjoyed MT as much as me. In my audition, I forgot how to belt in the climax of my song and I started to panic but the lecturers who were doing my audition assured me it was ok and I started again. Everyone was very supportive of each other and it was a very calm environment.

When I got offered a place, I cried! I was so ecstatic and felt so proud of myself! It felt like a huge accomplishment; on my first day, I was buzzing and was smiling and giggling the whole day. I couldn’t believe it!

What do you look forward to most on a Sunday?

Seeing my friends and ensemble singing, i love hearing the way our voices merge together. There’s always a sense of excitement and joy in the air when you arrive on a Sunday. It’s like having a second family.

Why should young people apply for Juniors?

You meet incredible people who are just as determined as you and become like a second family to you. You also receive lots of training that will help you in the industry. I am now a lot more confident in my classes outside of Juniors and push myself to try things that may be outside of my comfort zone.
