Voice Studies
The Voice Studies program exists to promote vocal music of the highest caliber. We believe that opera and vocal music are a living and essential art form that provokes, thrills and transforms human lives through its unique combination of text, music and storytelling.
We encourage the development of young musical artists as well as cultivate the audiences of the future. We build community to ensure the success of our students as they become practitioners, teachers and leaders of the future.
Degree Options
We provide an array of fully accredited degrees supported generously with scholarships and teaching assistantships. We believe in challenging, but diverse, programs of study.
