Vocal Seminar provides students with the opportunity to perform several pieces from memory for an audience of students and faculty over the course of the semester. Students receive feedback and, in some cases, workshop changes to their pieces while in class. They also practice giving helpful feedback to other singers. Through these master classes and some lectures, the course explores techniques for alignment, breath work, expression and many other techniques and topics that apply to singing performance. Elements of diction, vocal literature and performance practice are also examined. May be repeated for a maximum of eight credits. Must be taken concurrently with Voice Major applied lessons. Preq: Consent of instructor.
