MU 173 Class Voice


(2 credits)
This course is designed to introduce both non-music majors and non-voice majors to rudimentary skills in vocal performance. Included is a cursory investigation into vocal pedagogy, the International Phonetic Alphabet, and diverse vocal repertoire. Students will learn and perform a song of their choice, a folk-song, a musical theater song, an Italian art song and an English art song. This course places a great deal of emphasis on performance. To that end, students are expected to sing in front of their peers in group and solo situations. It is expected that each student will develop and grow in terms of technique, artistry, and overall confidence. As a class, this group of students will acquire skills to sing as a solo performance artist.
