VC 620S NEC Song Institute: Song Lab IV: Spanish
This semester will be devoted to a multi-pronged examination of selected Spanish-language songs, integrating studies and lecture/workshops in performance, history, poetry, visual art, lyric diction, and collaboration. Students will develop their skills in performance, oral communication, research, analysis, Spanish diction, and artistic collaboration. Following the Spanish portion, the semester will also include classes exploring non-classical song performance, workshops on repertoire requiring extended techniques for both singers and pianists, and a project in self-marketing. The lab meets twice per week, and may include additional private coaching/tutoring, group meetings, and related performance projects. Evaluation is provided through performances in song masterclasses and workshops, oral presentations, written research reports, public recital performances, and diction assignments and quizzes.
