The NYU Contemporary Vocal Workshop is a two-week program devoted to the intensive study and performance of contemporary vocal music. Participants receive one-on-one training and group instruction with our world-renowned roster of faculty artists. The program’s workshop and masterclass series includes sessions on vocal technique, vocal health and wellness, song interpretation, dance, vocal improvisation, chart writing, songwriting, music business, and much more. Participants will also network with industry professionals throughout the program.
The workshop will culminate in a final public performance where each participant will perform a solo number. All artists will be accompanied by a professional band. The Contemporary Vocal Workshop is led by Dr. Justin John Moniz (Program Director) and Prof. Jamon Maple (Associate Director).

The workshop generally runs Monday through Friday from 10-6pm, with a break for lunch. Students rotate through individual voice lessons, coachings, and small group workshops. Most days will also feature a special masterclass with an industry professional on a specialized topic. Participants will also venture off-campus on evenings and weekends to attend live performances across NYC.
Please prepare two contrasting songs of your choice from the contemporary vocal repertoire. Selections may include: pop, rock, country, classical, jazz, musical theatre, R&B, hip-hop, etc. Please upload the two selections as two separate video files. You are encouraged to consider:
Your performance should utilize the collaboration of a live musician (a pianist, guitarist, etc.), if possible. Self-accompanied selections are also acceptable. Pre-recorded tracks are an appropriate substitution when the utilization of live musicians is not possible.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, NYU has in place ongoing public health measures and requirements to ensure the safety of all University community members.
