Things to Do or Think About:
- don't neglect voice lesson
reports
- don't delay getting familiar
with anatomy
- schedule voice student or students if you haven't

- Now, be thinking of those two
questions as you approach your students.

Class
Overview and Syllabus
MUS 356 Voice Pedagogy (2, S07, 09) Methods of voice production and development as preparation for teaching; emphasis on teaching and evaluation. Attention to proper selection of music. Two class hours per week; junior and senior year.
This course is combines aspects of a seminar and a workshop. However, given the large enrollment for Spring 2007, there will, of necessity, be more lecture than I would normally desire. This course
of study depends much on the input and preparation of the entire group

a student. All that we do is aimed toward helping you acquire the knowledge,
tools, and skills to teach voice effectively. This is a seminar in theory

am firmly convinced that the
best way to master any such area of endeavor is to do
it while thinking about it. And awaaaay we go…
