MU 660 Private Voice Study

Virginia K. Bowles

Each performer has certain God-given talents and gifts that they bring to singing. The lessons will help you to identify these gifts and talents and to explore and develop them. I expect to see growth and change in each singer. You will each be at a different stage; however, you will be responsible for your own personal growth through individual instruction. Our focus will be to grow vocally and technically. At the completion of this course, you will be able to: • Identify the rudiments of healthy vocal production including: techniques of breath support, alignment ,placement, and diction. • Apply these rudiments to your instrument. • Develop your own vocal capabilities through practice, performance, and critique.
