Low Male Voices (LMVs): Development, Technique, and Repertoire

Join Dr Dann Mitton for this two hour workshop where he explores the Development, Techniques, and Repertoire favored for Low Male Voices (LMVs). Typically labelled as 'Bass' and 'Baritone', these classifications are used in classical music, choral settings, and vocal pedagogy to help determine suitable repertoire and vocal roles. In contemporary music, the distinctions are less rigid but still useful for understanding vocal range and timbre.
