Music: Vocal Performance Concentration, B.S.


NY State Program Code: 04113
HEGIS Code: 1005.00
CIP Code: 50.0901

(46 credits)

The Concentration in Vocal Performance for the Bachelor of Science in Music provides training for young singers in preparation for graduate studies as well as pursuance of professional performance employment and opportunities. Students in this concentration will work with our faculty to develop a varied and primarily solo repertoire that demonstrates a high level of achievement as a singer. Private Instruction in Voice is supplemented by courses in diction, literature, pedagogy, acting, and performance within a small ensemble. All B.S. in Music Majors are required to perform a Senior Recital for their Capstone; students who take this concentration will also be required to perform a half recital during their junior year. Curricular work will be supplemented through involvement in Master Classes offered by professional performers invited by the Department of Music.
