MUSC11389 Vocal Studies 2

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 provide an extension to the introduction of principles of vocal production. It will include a regular vocal lesson, a weekly workshop with focus on performance and technical problems and a weekly lecture that will cover basic anatomy, physiology and pedagogical issues relevant to the study of the voice. In vocal lessons the focus will be on the development of principles of breath usage, support and placement of the voice. The student will be given further scales and exercises to strengthen the middle register of the voice, and to refine the process of making the registers even. The lectures will focus on areas that effect the voice, such as harmonal changes, diseases such as asthma and allergies and issues of how physical and emotional changes can effect the voice.
