| Dear Juggling Mom,
Hartt's Bachelor of Music degree program in vocal performance is classically driven not opera driven. It is a comprehensive program designed for the student whose goal is to be a professional performer. What sets Hartt apart from other conservatories and music schools is its commitment to providing performance opportunities for its undergraduate vocal performance majors in each of three areas considered essential for the training of a well-rounded vocalist: recital singing in the Undergraduate Recital Series, choral singing in both a cappella choirs and major works with symphony orchestra, and opera singing in black box and main stage opera productions chosen specifically for the developing undergraduate vocalist. Hartt’s vocal performance major includes private voice lessons; coaching; vocal pedagogy; language and diction study in English, Italian, French, and German; stage movement; acting; and Hartt’s core music curriculum. |
