About the CoOPERAtive Program

The CoOPERAtive program provides three weeks of intensive training for the young singer.  The program is presented in cooperation and consultation with professionals in the field to help young singers build and strengthen their artistic toolbox. Participants receive private voice lessons, music, language and drama coaching, as well as classes in body work, diction, and drama.  Our focus is on musical style, performance techniques, dramatic presentation, language, diction, and body awareness.

The program is planned to be IN-PERSON for Summer 2022.  Westminster Choir College at Rider University has spent significant energy and resources ensuring that your experience on campus will be safe.  Located on the Lawrenceville campus, the close proximity to studios, classrooms, performance venues, and practice room makes it an ideal location.

Applications open 11/1 and close 12/31/2021 for NATS applications and 1/31/2022 for YAP tracker applications. Invitations will be made by March 1, 2022. Acceptances must be received by March 8, 2022.

ALL FACULTY and PARTICIPANTS MUST BE VACCINATED (and show their vaccination documentation upon acceptance).  It is possible that masks will be worn for all activities.  This will be determined closer to the program.  The CoOPERAtive Program has the right to adapt their COVID policies at their sole discretion adhering to the best Federal, State, CDC and Rider University practices and regulations.
