APC 410 - Vocal Pedagogy

2 credit(s)
This course is an introduction to voice pedagogy. Students learn the anatomy and physiology of the voice, the mechanics of breath management, as well as the nature of sound. The scientific principles of resonance and acoustics, and how these relate to singing and the teaching of singing, are explored thoroughly. Students are required to create a “Resources in Voice Pedagogy Notebook,” in which they include assignments designed to promote awareness of the rich array of voice pedagogy publications available, a log of their own voice lessons, and observations of voice lessons from other studios. These assignments prepare the students for the discussion and comparison of teaching styles.
Prerequisite(s): Voice performance major or five-year voice performance/music education major.
