Vocal Arts
The art and science of vocal performance in speech and singing is an essential, vital subject of human endeavor. The complete vocal musician is committed to the pursuit of excellence in the fundamental areas of vocal technique, music theory, and history, literature, languages, and drama.
While vocal performance of the highest artistic caliber is our main educational goal, we strive to accomplish this objective by focusing on the holistic nurturing of the individual within the context of a supportive vocal community.
