Voice

• Private Lessons

  You will receive weekly private voice lessons with our voice faculty, in addition to semimonthly master classes and area recitals. An emphasis on Classical vocal production, vocal technique, foreign languages and lyric diction, breathing, vocal health, style and musicianship will be applied through the study of appropriate repertoire.

• Area Recital

  Students may perform on Voice Area Recitals and monthly School of Music Convocation Recitals throughout the semester.

• Master Class

  Performance on Master Classes will be assigned by the instructor. Master Classes are taught by guest artists from around the world, who frequently have established relationships with faculty of the Voice Area and who may be alumni of Illinois State University. These Master Clinicians address a range of concerns for the young and emerging vocal artist. Student participation is encouraged through constructive criticism. Additionally, each ISU Voice Faculty member teaches their own bi-weekly Master Class throughout every semester, facilitating consistent performance opportunities within each studio.
