Department Objectives  

It is the goal of this department that through a balanced repertoire of high quality music representing diverse genres and eras, students will learn the versatility to perform music in a stylistically appropriate manner, with emphasis on accuracy, consistency, vocal health, and fulfilling their own individual potential as a singer.

Students will also learn to craft intelligent critical appraisals of performances, to become an informed consumer of all types of music, and to have a solid foundation in the basics of music reading and theory.

Above all, students will be a part of a comfortable, accepting, enriching, and artistic environment that will motivate them to succeed to the best of their ability and strive for personal and group excellence at all times.
