Vocal Studies at Longy
Programs in vocal performance offer thorough technical training and a sophisticated approach to song repertory and interpretation for graduate-level and mature undergraduate singers. At the heart of each program are frequent performances in a range of settings, from class and studio recitals to formal solo and chamber concerts. In addition to this strong core curriculum, students explore their particular musical interests with members of the Voice and Collaborative Piano faculties, whose specialties include German Lieder, twentieth-century song, French mélodie, vocal chamber music, oratorio, ornamentation, opera, and musical theater.

Alongside weekly studio lessons, departmental performance classes hone skills in the dramatic presentation of art songs, collaborative music-making with accompanists, and text interpretation. Core courses in art song repertory, diction, and vocal chamber ensembles all incorporate extensive workshop performances and final concerts. A yearlong introduction to vocal pedagogy includes intensive study of vocal anatomy and physiology as well as practice teaching.
