Hello! I also went to the MT summer program! and i just wanted to point out a few fact that i loved about the program. many of my friends took part in other summer programs and loved them, but what made my time spent this summer much more valuable and producative was the small group of students. This is a plus for many different reasons the main one being, you can learn a lot by watching someone, but when you are actually performing for the professors and they are giving you direct feedback that is the best. Everyday each student would get that direct attention. One of the coolest things they did was the first day of MT Studio they said bring a song and you will sing it for us. Okay yes semi terrifying, but they took how he sang, they got to know each of us very well and by the end of the week they had selected a song for each one of us to sing for our showcase. I keep in touch with EVERYONE! I was in NYC the other day and met up with one of my TA's i call her all the time! and she always helps me with anything I need. The relationships I made at emerson are priceless. you get both sides of the story; you get the professors who tell you what they are looking for in an auditioner and you get the side of the TAs who have gone threw this and were successful! its an amazing program best five weeks of my life!
To answer the question about the singing. I was worried about that too when I signed up. No need to worry. MT studio starts with a vocal warm up everyday. somedays you work on you group numbers, sometimes on your individual songs that they picked. Jon, who is amazinnggggg is a great director/teacher and he is the one who runs the vocal portion of the program.
