The study of private voice will enable students to develop an efficient classical vocal technique, based on the Italian bel canto method of vocal training. Students will establish healthy technical habits, proficiency in lyric diction, and be exposed to a wide variety of vocal styles and repertoire. Students will demonstrate fluent musicianship skills, including an understanding of music theory, proficiency with aural skills and sight-reading, basic piano skills, and the ability to rehearse and perform collaboratively and contribute to an ensemble.
