Voice area faculty members at UWSP are nationally recognized performing artists dedicated to promoting healthy vocal production appropriate to each student\u2019s professional goals. They offer a wealth of expertise in the areas of solo song repertoire, opera, choral and general music education and vocal pedagogy. Voice students at UWSP enjoy a low teacher\/student ratio in the classroom and a healthy and energetic environment for learning, regardless of major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curriculum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Voice students at UWSP are mentored through a curriculum that includes classes in singer\u2019s diction, vocal literature, pedagogy, large choral and small chamber ensembles, opera workshop, and master classes presented by guest artists. Each student receives individual weekly lessons and participates in studio classes where all vocalists perform in one of our spacious performing venues in the Noel Fine Arts Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each voice student performs repertoire drawn from the classical vocal repertoire, including but not limited to English lute or art song, American folk or art song, opera, oratorio, German Lied and French m\u00e9lodie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every vocalist at UWSP enrolls in a broad range of classes from the music department course offerings in addition to the voice area specialty classes. Each voice studio is complete with a grand piano and A\/V recording equipment to assist in each student\u2019s learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
