Dr. Kyle Pullen served as the Director of Choral Activities at Oklahoma Christian University from 2011-2023, where he directed three choral ensembles and taught classes in choral conducting, secondary choral methods, vocal diction, music theory, ear training, music in worship and voice. He is most excited about his appointment as the Director of Choral Activities at Harding University beginning in August of 2023. Dr. Pullen holds advanced degrees in choral conducting from the University of Houston and Claremont Graduate University. Prior to moving to Oklahoma, he spent fourteen years directing choirs at Clear Creek High School in League City, Texas. His ensembles have consistently performed as honor choirs at state conventions in Oklahoma and Texas and at regional and national conventions of the American Choral Directors Association. He has served his state associations as an auditions committee member of the Oklahoma Music Educators Association and an area and region chair of the Texas Music Educators Association. Dr. Pullen also enjoys a busy schedule of serving as a clinician for honor choirs in the region. He has worked as a producer and music director for over twenty musical theater productions, including three of his favorites: Shrek, The Music Man and Brigadoon. Much of his inspiration comes from his caring wife, Lyndsey, and his wonderful kids, Blaine and Lauren.
Auditions for choral groups are March 15, 2025. Students may also audition during the four days before classes begin in August, during Stampede.
It is not necessary to prepare anything for the choral audition. We'll ask you to sing through "My Country, 'tis of Thee" a few times in different keys (music and words will be provided); you'll sing some five-note scales with piano accompaniment; you'll do a little sight-reading (you may use solfege syllables or numbers if you like, but no special technique is required); and we'll give you a short tonal memory test in which you'll sing back a few notes we play for you.
After auditions, we'll assign you to the singing group that we feel is best for you—the Chorus or Concert Choir.
Students auditioning for a music major scholarship do not need to audition separately for the choral ensembles.
