 Voice
Kurt R. Hansen , Coordinator
kurtsingsbach@comcast.net
Designed to foster and enhance the healthy development of young vocalists.
The voice faculty offers private instruction, daily chamber rehearsals, and
master classes that focus on such topics as vocal pedagogy, vocal health,
musical theater, and audition preparation. Additional classes in music theory,
music history, and conducting emphasize the development of strong musicianship.
Vocalists perform in several concerts, including the prestigious vocal honors
concert and the gala finale during the final week of the institute.

Private Instruction
As part of the required curriculum, students attend one-hour private lessons
weekly with our performance faculty. During this time students primarily address
technique, solo literature, and performance practice. Additionally, chamber
and ensemble literature may be coached. Private lessons are part of the standard
tuition charges and do not pose an additional expense.
