CLPNO 523 Techniques of Vocal Coaching
Through the course of the 14 weeks, students will gain hands-on experience with the coaching of vocal literature in a setting that offers guidance, feedback and exposure to the coaching styles of their professor and their peers. Students will receive a thorough review of the International Phonetic Alphabet and the rules of diction and pronunciation of Italian, German, French and English. They will gain experience coaching art songs and operatic arias in each of these languages, and will offer written feedback to their peers. The course will include a section on secco recitative and a section on coaching operatic scores, with an emphasis on score marking and cueing in vocal ensembles. The course will also include a discussion on the business aspect of coaching, including client relations, scheduling, preparation and time management.
