Overview of class
"In this performance-intensive course, singers and pianists learn aural, communication, and organizational skills to help effectively prepare and perform musical theatre repertoire in voice-and-piano settings. Across three modules, students will:
(1) Acquire effective practice habits (Module 1);
(2) Learn how to identify and correct timing misalignments in rehearsal (Module 2); and
(3) Improve the clarity and effectiveness of your rehearsal communication (Module 3).
The course culminates in a final performance demonstrating the results of effective practice and rehearsal."
