The Beginning Level is The Joyously Singing Body. This is a course for those who have never sung or for those who have singing experience but no vocal training. Topics to be covered include sound and movement, breathing, articulation and resonance. Simple songs in various languages and introductory vocal exercises will also be taught. No ability to read music is required. The emphasis will be less on what is sung than on how it is sung and what is felt while singing.

The Intermediate/Advanced Level is The Vocal Ensemble. This is a performing ensemble for those with choral singing experience and familiarity with reading music. Sacred and secular repertoire of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque, modern compositions and spirituals will form the basis of instruction. Prerequisite requirements for this course are experience in choral singing and familiarity with reading music.

The Expert Level is Individual Vocal Training. This course consists of solo singing lessons for the experienced singer. It is suitable for singers preparing solo recitals. The course will work on perfection of vocal technique and the expansion of solo repertoire. The prerequisite requirements for this course are background in singing, proficiency in reading music and a repertoire which the student wants to study and perfect.

Note: It is expected that students enrolled in the Art of Singing will focus primarily on the singing curriculum. Access to studio arts classes (painting, drawing, photography, printmaking) will be limited.
