A continuation of MUSG-312. This course investigates the vocal physiology and various teaching methods and tools necessary to the successful singer and pedagogue. Required study for all voice majors, undergraduate and graduate.

In this course, you will have the opportunity to learn the principles which are the foundation of all teaching methodologies. Principles learned in this class can be applied to both one-on-one teaching (singing lessons, vocal coaching) and group situations (class voice, choral music). Through readings, class lectures, guest lectures and perhaps a field trip or two, you will be exposed to the anatomy, physiology, acoustics and development of the human voice.

The opera workshop is a select ensemble/class for moderate to advanced classical singers. Topics include the musical, linguistic, and dramatic preparation and performance of roles and scenes from the operatic and operetta repertory.
