Repertoire Selection

Thursday 30th November 2023, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM (London Time)

Accurate selection of vocal repertoire for singers is an essential skill for teachers of all genres.

The most skilled voice technician runs the risk of undoing all technical development in a student by assigning pieces and suggesting stage roles which are inappropriate for a given singer's capabilities and development.

This course will provide attendees with a systematic process for examining the challenges of vocal repertoire of multiple genres and how to best match pieces to a singer.
