Learning Objectives

The main objective of the class is to widen the repertoire knowledge of the students. Students will also be instructed in musical style and German diction matters that arise.

Teaching Method

Each student will be assigned 3 songs to sing in class. They will coach each song with me privately before performing for their peers in class. The songs need to be well learned and translated. The students do not need to perform from memory.

The students will be evaluated on the level of their preparation and performance of the assigned repertoire. Attendance is required at all classes, with the exception of illness, family emergency or travel for auditions/performances. I must be notified if the student will miss class.
