Welcome to the Vocal Academy at the Collaborative Piano Institute!
If you are a singer who would like to work with some of the best Vocal Coaches in the field (Martin Katz, Kathleen Kelly, Howard Watkins, and more), the Vocal Academy is for you! Since there is a limited number of openings, participants will receive continuous personal attention and instruction unparalleled by many summer music programs.
You will have the option to create your own summer project: role preparation (voice lessons and coachings), scenes, an entire song cycle, recital preparation, intermediate or advanced diction training, pre-screening recordings, and more!
You will work with pianists in lessons, masterclasses and recitals; receive recordings of all these activities, and participate in lectures that discuss:
- How to learn music more efficiently
- The singer and pianist collaboration
- Recital programming and preparation
- Entrepreneurship
- Time management
- Musical style and interpretation
- Audition preparation for graduate school, summer festivals, and Young Artist Programs
- Vocal coaching and score preparation
- Language and diction
- The singer in the chamber music ensemble
- Working with and as a conductor
- Opportunity to record prescreening video and audio
In addition to daily rehearsals, the singers will participate in as many as 25 classes and lectures, 12-15 coachings, 10 masterclasses and at least 4 recitals on average.
