BM in Instrumental or Vocal Performance

It is the primary objective of the Vocal Studies Program to seek committed and promising young singers, and to develop in them a firm foundation in the vocal arts of performance and pedagogy. Their program utilizes training in art song and opera to foster the development of a lifetime commitment to creativity and communication, nurturing the responsibility in our students of contributing to the society in which they live. Their faculty work cooperatively to develop our young artists into working professionals. Through performances of operas and opera-scenes programs, song festivals, public recitals, master classes, and community-outreach programs, students acquire the needed experience and growth necessary for attaining a career in the arts.
