This is accomplished through defining terms, learning basic vocal anatomy and understanding and communicating the fundamentals of vocal technique and vocal health. Approximately two-thirds of this course utilizes a lecture and discussion format. The other one-third is dedicated to the practical application of information presented in the form of mock voice lessons. A minimum of Sophomore standing required. Spring.
