MUSC11388 Vocal Studies I

Course details

The acquisition of aural skills is integral to the study of the voice. The singer must have good aural perception of harmony and rhythm. In order to satisfy this aim, the study of Musicianship has been nested within the course that addresses the study of voice: Vocal Studies.

The vocal module will provide an introduction to the principles of vocal production. It will include a regular vocal lesson, a regular workshop with focus on performance and technical problems and a regular lecture that will cover basic anatomy, physiology and pedagogical issues relevant to the study of the voice. In vocal lessons during this course, the focus will be on the introduction of principles of breath usage, support and placement of the voice. The student will be introduced to scales and exercises to strengthen the middle register of the voice, and to begin the process of making the registers even. In this course the lectures will encompass such issues as Vocal Anatomy, Body Anatomy, Breath Support and Vocal Management and Hygiene.
