The Vocal Performance Program in the Steinhardt School’s Department of Music and Performing Arts Professions offers a two-week intensive workshop during which advanced singers – graduate students and professionals – explore the techniques of music theatre performance with a focus on the amalgamation of vocal technique and acting technique. The workshop employs individual instruction in a group setting supported by private coaching sessions with a musical director/coach. (Additional private coaching sessions are also available as an additional course.)
In addition to current NYU students, the workshop is open to voice students studying music at the graduate level at other universities as well as industry professionals. (Students in their 4th year of undergraduate voice study may also apply and will be considered on a space-available basis.)
