What's the time commitment like?

We understand student life is busy! We typically have 2 weekly rehearsals and occasional performances. Our schedule is designed to be flexible around your academic commitments.

What types of music do you perform?

Although officially a Pilipino-American choral group, we do all sorts of music. We've sung in both Tagalog and English. Our song choices usually come from arrangements composed by Tinig members, whether current or alumni. So please, feel free to submit your own musical arrangements, mash-ups, or even just give suggestions concerning what you want to do!
If you become inspired to suddenly write music without knowing how, we sometimes discuss music theory during rehearsals. Also please speak to one of our section leaders so that they may help you on the specifics of arranging music if you wish to do so.

I'm a beginner singer. Can I still join?

Absolutely! We welcome singers of all levels. Our supportive environment and experienced members will help you develop your vocal skills and music theory knowledge.

Are there any fees to join?

We strive to keep costs minimal. Any fees would typically cover group activities, events, and performance materials. We also have fundraising efforts to help offset costs.
