Training the Passaggi of Classical Genre Voices

This class will be focused on practical pedagogic strategies for training voices in smooth negotiation of range.

Special attention will be given to those transitions, both laryngeal and acoustic, that challenge efficient function.

While we will be primarily attending to the aesthetic targets of the classical genre, the strategies included are relatively genre neutral and can be adapted to any styles seeking a smooth, even traversing of the range.

Basic elements of acoustic vocal pedagogy will be referenced, but previous exposure to the principles of acoustic pedagogy as routinely presented by Bozeman will be assumed.
