The Bachelor of Music with a concentration in performance/voice will teach you how to develop the skills, concepts and sensitivities that are essential to being a professional musician. Included are courses in music theory, aural skills, music history, conducting and applied study in your principal performing medium. As a voice student, you will participate in weekly masterclasses, which serve as informal performance laboratories. Music majors also attend weekly convocations that offer students an opportunity to perform in a concert setting. In addition to the core curriculum, you will take additional courses in song literature, voice pedagogy, opera theater, lyric diction and foreign language.
