Learn how core elements of music theory can support effective sight-singing, including scales, intervals, key signatures, and rhythm, so you can analyze new scores, internalize tonality, and approach music with confidence and independence. |  |
| Explore how style shapes vocal interpretation across classical, jazz, musical theater, the Great American Songbook, and pop. Evaluate your range, timbre, and stage of development to select repertoire that fits you, and study genre-specific approaches to phrasing, tone, diction, and expression so you can make informed artistic choices that honor both the music and your unique voice. |  |
| Treat your voice as the biological instrument it is and learn how to care for it over the long term. Build a practical toolkit grounded in vocal anatomy and physiology, including daily warm-up and cool-down routines and healthy physical habits that help prevent fatigue and injury while supporting consistent, sustainable technique. |  |
| Demystify the professional side of a singing career, from finding the right teacher and coach to securing performance opportunities. Gain insight into touring, recording, distribution, management, and key legal considerations so you can build a sustainable path, navigate representation, and create your own opportunities in the music industry. |  |

Observe a detailed rehearsal with veteran Broadway musical director Andy Einhorn and world-renowned vocalist Mikaela Bennett, then apply what you have learned by planning and recording your own final recital, demonstrating how you learn, internalize, and communicate music. |  |
