Voicearts Forum

Course open to Music School students only.
A weekly forum for singers, this course focuses
on developing performance-related skills through
observation, practice and discussion. Sessions
will be devoted to guest artist performances,
master classes, event and recital preparation,
and rehearsals for special projects. Topics
covered will include: understanding and
communicating musical ideas in proper stylistic
contexts, developing the physical attributes
necessary for effective performing (stage
deportment, body language, demeanor), performance
communication and protocol, and music preparation
and presentation. Ample time will be provided for
each individual to perform and receive feedback
from faculty, guest artists and peers. Students
will acquire greater ease and confidence on
stage, as well as a more thorough understanding
of vocal, musical and performance issues.
