Participants will learn the fundamentals of music through classes in basic theory and music reading. Daily voice classes help to expand their personal potential. Students personalize their program by choosing from elective classes in conducting, drumming and drama. Choir rehearsals are held several times throughout the day. Rochelle Ellis, vocal instructor at Westminster Choir College and Princeton University; Lucy Strauli, a singer who has sung with the New York City Opera; and Patricia Thel will direct the students in a final staged and abridged production of an operetta. Students audition at the beginning of the week and are cast into appropriate roles for the production. The final program includes choral music, music from voice class and the operetta.
