Each semester, first and second-year undergraduate voice majors prepare and perform a variety of song repertoire in public showcase events. In addition to growing their skills in music and interpretive preparation, students learn to put into practice the skills of public speaking to engage with the audience through personal introductions and by sharing an overview of the context and story of the repertoire before sharing their performances. This practice-to-performance model helps build the necessary skill sets to excel in degree recitals, professional audition settings, and community outreach opportunities.
