About Us

Classical voice

The classical voice program provides each singer with the tools needed for a lifetime of expressive singing. Technical study is balanced with intense work on language and interpretation; solo performance is balanced with ensemble performance; academic courses are balanced with performance-based courses. Working in a collaborative environment led by our outstanding vocal faculty, students are encouraged to become the well-rounded singers and teachers needed in today's changing world.

Advanced Opera Studies

Opera is a vibrant and integral component of the Voice Department at the Desautels Faculty of Music, at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Whether as a process or goal in itself, opera trains singers to engage as performers with their whole being. It requires complete physical presence in order to commit to the character and story telling as singing actors. The skills used in opera are relevant to all vocal repertoire, which is why we value it so highly as a learning tool as well as a vital art form.
