In this course, students examine classical vocal repertoire and consider its application and practical use in the training of the singing voice throughout all stages of vocal development. Students apply analytical and pedagogical tools to assess the physical characteristics, artistic capabilities, and musical aptitude of the individual singer while determining the accessibility and appropriateness of assigned repertoire. Students consider the parameters of range, tessitura, melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic complexities, language, duration, dramatic context, and style.
