Boys Vocal Program
Open to all students in Years 5 to 12 who attend a NSW public school who love to sing and want to experience what happens in a recording studio. Over 3 days, students learn repertoire, culminating in the making of a music video that accompanies the final recording.
About the program
The 3-day Boys Vocal Program is a non-audition vocal program led by tutors Stuart Davis and Arlo Sim at Trackdown Studios at the Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park, in Term 2. During the first 2 days of the workshop, students and teachers work on vocal warm-ups, vocal techniques, ensemble singing, filming a film clip and developing an exciting harmonised repertoire. On the third day, students record the track with sound engineers at Trackdown Studios, where they experience the recording, engineering and mixing process. Following the program, the completed music clip and recording are available to all schools via the Arts Unit website.
Please complete the expression of interest form if you are interested in the Boys Vocal Program for 2026.
Applications open on Monday 9 March 2026, with more information to come in Term 1 2026.
Enquiries
Call out for the 2026 song!
In 2025, the Boys Vocal Program featured a student composition ‘Not a Man Yet’ written by Robbi Morgan, Year 10 student from Asquith Boys High School and Ben Gillard, Year 11 student from Kooringal High School. We are now looking for another song written by a NSW public school student to be featured in the 2026 Boys Vocal Program. If you have written an original song with musical accompaniment (such as guitar or piano) and would like your song to be the focus of the 2026 Boys Vocal Program, please fill in the below form and link a copy of your song for consideration. Please keep in mind that this can be a work in progress and you will have the opportunity to workshop the song with a composer to refine it for inclusion in the program.
Apply for Boys Vocal Program artist callout. Applications close Sunday 1 February 2026.
Enjoy the 2025 video below. Not a Man Yet.
