As HN's only? lurking non-swe choral director I'll just pipe in and say that every school should have a chorus that anyone can be in without being "picked", in addition to any auditioned levels. You can learn to sing the same way you can learn any other subject/skill; that is to say it's entry-level.

To clarify, when I say picked I mean that for whatever reason at my high school every incoming freshman was screened for ability and if they were alright they got in.

There was a similar screening process for the ability to swim, though it was actually for selecting those who could not and teaching them.
