Vocal Performance
An eight-semester course covering a range of
styles from the Great American Songbook to
bebop, modal, world, contemporary popular,
and free music. Students compose original
material, write lyrics and create their own arrangements.
Accompanied by a pianist and/or
rhythm section, singers focus on interpretation,
stage presence, improvisation, vocal technique,
phrasing as well as cultivating a personal style.
Students are expected to develop a repertoire
of 100 songs over this four-year course.
