Course details
This course has a pre-requisite of Vocal Studies 3. There are two modules in this course: vocal module and aural musicianship module. 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 this course the lectures will focus on areas that affect the voice, such as hormonal changes, diseases and breathing problems which will impact on delivery of the voice. The lectures will also focus on technical issues and problem solving associated with vocal performance practice. Vocal lessons will concentrate on further development of breath usage, support and placement of the voice, together with development of the range of the voice, with application to repertoire in preparation for the performance exam at the end of the course. The student will be working on more scales and exercises to strengthen the middle register of the voice, and to further refine process of making the registers even. The performance repertoire of this course is tailored to meet each student's particular learning needs and the content is negotiated with the lecturer to ensure that the course value adds to the student's learning and to their program of study. The vocal module aims to develop the highest possible interpretative and executant ability of the chosen repertoire. The aural musicianship module is integral to the study of the voice. The singer must have good aural perception of melody, harmony and rhythm. In order to satisfy this aim, the study of Musicianship has been nested within this course. Each succeeding course in Vocal Studies will require students to demonstrate a greater degree of both interpretative and executant skill development in their performance and a higher degree of aural acuity.
