This course is a practical study and performance of advanced solo vocal music in a private coaching and master class format. The repertoire will be chiefly selected from Lieder, Mélodie, and art song, but will also include orchestral songs and arias. The choices will be made in collaboration with the student, applied music teacher, and vocal coach. Emphasis will be placed on effective interpretation and communication, including musical, interpretive, stylistic, performance, and language/diction considerations.
