Faculty employ a collaborative and collegial teaching approach to each student's development, cultivating sound technique and vocal health. Each year of the program, from freshmen through second-year graduates, has its own dedicated weekly performance class, which coupled with our showcases, opera productions, and recitals, offers many performance opportunities for each student. Our faculty also teach courses, master classes, and seminars specific to the business of the performing arts career, adding professional development to the stellar technical and musical preparation.
