So, we all talk about getting into college, hwere to go, money money, and etc. on this forum.

But I'm curious to know something:

If not opera, what else can you do with a vocal performance degree? I'm just curious :P. I haven't researched it as much as I could but I do know afew others (like voice coaching, professor.) But, is that it?

Geared more towards the instrumentalist, this excellent series from Rice is a good starting point. There are a few segments geared towards the vocalist. Be sure to look at all the info on the left hand menu.

RE: the above-referenced link. My computer froze so totally when I tried to download a video that I couldn't even shut it down manually -- I ended up literally pulling the plug on my computer. Fortunately, it restarted. Anyway - just to warn people. By the way, I have a brand new computer w/ plenty of memory. Perhaps it would wise to exit CC before you try a video.

violinmom, you may need to clear your cache. I've never experienced a problem with the Rice site. I just reloaded a few, with no issues.

But others may wish to heed violinmom's experience when viewing.

Hi. My effort to download the audio piece about jazz musicians on that site shows 'file doesn't exist.' FYI.

Chazmire,

Do you have Real Player? It's a .ram file. Basically its a 47 second clip of hearing "I do lots of different jazz playing/composing and also travel a lot."

I really liked the "tools for success" section on the left side of the page. Thank you Violadad!
