Vocal Coaching: Voice Recital Preparation Credit: 1

Catalog description

The purpose of vocal coaching is to aid singers in refining their performance skills in terms of musical style, nuance, language, diction, and character. It is intended to amplify the singer’s understanding of the many aspects of performance including musical shaping, dynamic contrasts, poetic/textual architecture, traditional approaches to literature of various periods and styles, and appropriate performance practices related to voice recitals and/or the operatic stage. In addition, singers will develop additional skills in working with a collaborative pianist and explore appropriate expectations when working with conductors/stage directors.
