For students of varying levels of singing ability. Vocal production and physiology will be discussed. Group warm-ups and vocalizations will incorporate exercises to develop breath control, resonance, projection, range, color, and agility. The fundamental concepts of singing will be explored in the preparation of specific song assignments. Personalization of text and emotional expression will be addressed. Students will study and perform traditional classical song literature (including early Italian songs, 17th- to 18th-century arias, and repertoire in several languages) to strengthen and facilitate technical growth before moving on to other contemporary styles. Students will have half-hour repertory sessions every other week with an accompanist.

All music voice students will be requested to show work and to participate in a minimum of seven sessions of the music lab, Music Workshop.
