Arts Academy Boarding School: Voice Major

Voice study at the Interlochen Arts Academy provides instruction compatible with the student’s abilities and goals in a strongly classical voice environment. A strong commitment to classical voice studies is expected from the student to achieve the maximum benefit from this instruction. A typical voice student's schedule would include one lesson, choir, and music theory; and could also include piano study (private lesson by audition or class piano), chamber singers, opera workshop and appropriate academic classes. Each prospective voice student is evaluated at the beginning of each year to determine his/her current level of development, and then an assignment is made to a vocal instructor for private voice lessons. Students are expected to practice for one hour daily. Keyboard proficiency and foreign language study are strongly recommended.
