Advanced Voice Class

Course Number: #8978

For the serious singer, this audition-only course is designed to provide group and private vocal instruction. Students displaying exceptional ability will work to develop correct vocal techniques and music reading skills, and in the process develop confidence and poise in performance situations. Audition preparation will be also addressed. Students will sing in a variety of musical styles including Broadway, classical and art songs, and will be required to perform in foreign languages. Quarterly Master Classes will be conducted and two recitals will be presented each year. In addition, this class performs as a small ensemble (Collegiate Voices) for select concerts and events. Open to students in grades 9-12.

Vocal Class Policies

Concerts presented for the school and various evening performances are required attendances. Unexcused absence will result in an immediate failure for that term. Students must memorize all performance literature and sing their part accurately. Each student is expected to give 100% effort, attention and participation in every rehearsal and performance. Failure to do so will result in the loss of percentage points on the final grade for the term.

Prerequisites: must be able to sing on pitch; some choral experience is helpful but not necessary; enrollment is by audition only
