Summer Vocal Institute

Let us help you discover the magic of your voice

Co-Directors: Lorna Jane Norris & Beth MacLeod
Jane Viemeister, Collaborative Pianist
July 30-Aug 8, 2008
Final Concert: Friday Aug 8 at 7:30pm

Summer Vocal Institute is a unique eight-day vocal experience guaranteed to help motivated students achieve their personal best. Singers can return to their vocal activities in the fall as more accomplished and knowledgeable vocalists.

This total immersion workshop is specially designed for students, ages 12-18, who are interested in classical or musical theatre singing. Focusing on age-appropriate vocal technique and repertoire, the program provides important tools to help students discover the full potential of their instrument, and prepare them for more advanced studies.

Additionally, students receive daily masterclasses with Conservatory faculty members, on the following topics:

  • Audition preparation
  • Diction
  • Vocal Technique
  • Interacting with an accompanist
  • Stage deportment
  • Stage movement and “terms”
  • Overcoming stage fright
  • Interpretation
  • Putting together an audition notebook
  • Practice techniques
  • Yoga/relaxation techniques
  • Musicianship for Singers
  • Sight Reading

And now for the grand finale…

Throughout the program, students work closely with other passionate singers in preparing music for the final performance. Based on ability, singers will be assigned music either in a group or solo situation. The final performance takes place Friday, August 8, 7:30 pm at Cox Hall, Hingham.

Show us your stuff!

Auditions for placement are required. Summer Vocal Institute accepts a maximum of 20 singers. Students should prepare two classical songs, one in English and, if possible, one in a foreign language. An accompanist will be provided.

Auditions are May 4, 10 am - 12 noon in Duxbury, and May 18, 3-5 pm in Hingham. Please call 781-934-2731, ext. 20 to schedule an audition time.
