The steps for those wishing to learn the Loralaria without joining the
guild are as follows:

(1) The Applicant must be of good standing in Hallifax as defined by the
following
     (a) Be ranked a Mistress, Master, or above
(b) Be judged to be in good standing by a member of the Conductorate

(2) The Applicant must submit an application to a member of the
Conductorate. The application should include the following
     (a) The Applicant's name
     (b) The Applicant's achievements as a citizen of Hallifax
     (c) The Applicant's reasons for wishing to learn the Loralaria
(d) The Applicant's reasons for declining membership in the Symphonium
     (e) A sample 9-stanza song

Note: The application will be posted to the Symphonium newsboards for
four months to allow the guild's voices to be heard.

(3) Assuming no objections are raised to the application within the
four-month period, the Applicant will be interviewed by a member of the
Conductorate (who may or may not be the same person who processed the
application) on the following
topics
     (a) "On Perfection" by Llesvelt Shevat
Note: The Applicant should read the book prior to the interview. The
interviewer may wish to ask similar questions as at an Abecedarian
Evaluation.
     (b) The Symphonium's expectations of Decorum
Note: Particular attention should be paid to Article II.iv
The Interviewer should offer a brief discussion of the voice of Crys and
Jilai Clarramore during the interview.
Note: The other members of the Conductorate should be informed of the
interview, and have a one-month period in which to discuss the
interview, and consider how best to correct any flaws the applicant may
have in their understanding of the Symphonium and the Loralaria.

(4) Assuming no objections are raised at the interview or during the
month following, the Applicant should complete a scholarly article or
literary work of interest to the Symphonium directly to the Symphonium.
A member of the Conductorate must approve of your contribution. Possible
topics include
     (a) The Voice
     (b) Studies of crystalline vibrations as they relate to sound
     (c) Explorations of the Higher Emotions
Those wishing for the requirement of a scholarly contribution to be
waived may contribute 500,000 gold to the Symphonium's bank account.


Should any member of the Conductorate object at any part of the
application, the applicant may not progress until that member's
objections are removed.

Any misuse of the Loralaria will be met with the swift revokation of the
knowledge of the Song.
