MUSC13392 Vocal Studies 5

Course Description

The acquisition of aural skills is integral to the study of the voice. The singer must have good aural perceptions 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 the voice: Vocal Studies. The vocal module will provide refinement on 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 the focus will be on advanced techniques of applications and intepretation. The student will be working on advanced scales and exercises to strengthen the registers of the voice, and to develop evenness of range and colour throughout the voice. The lectures will concentrate on advanced physiology of the vocal and auditory organs, and the practical applications of learning and teaching the voice.
