Vocal Ensemble

MU653 Vocal Ensemble……………………………………………………1.0 credit

Prerequisite: Audition and permission of instructor.

The Vocal Ensemble, selected by audition, meets daily to study group vocal technique. The Ensemble studies the various styles of vocal production as well as the vocal mechanism. Literature, both sacred and secular, from several historical periods, is sung, with emphasis on a major work each semester. The Vocal Ensemble is a touring group that presents a concert series throughout the year. Students who are interested in mastering the technique of vocal production benefit greatly from participating in this excellent ensemble. Ensemble students are required to purchase concert attire. It is mandatory that all members of the Vocal Ensemble participate in all rehearsal activities and performances. Failure to do so is reflected in the final grade.
