<p>Most of the serious vocalists at NYU are either in Tisch studying Musical theatre or in Steinhardt as Vocal Performance majors. Some may have other music majors in Steinhardt such as Music Ed.</p>
<p>When I say “serious” I am saying it in terms of those who are actually studying voice and receiving voice lessons and coaching from full faculty members as part of the curriculum they study.</p>
<p>Many students in both programs, particularly those with a musical theatre focus, plan to go in a more contemporary direction. Many believe that it is important to be classically trained to learn good vocal technique. Think Lady Gaga! Also, the nature of musical theatre has been changing and many of the songs that are performed have a contemporary bend. Even in Steinhardt, which is more classically oriented, students are required to study contemporary music in their senior year.</p>
<p>Additionally, NYU also offers the Clive Davis program through Tisch and the Music Business program through Steinhardt. However, neither require or include any vocal performance classes in their curriculum. Although there very well may be both vocalists and instrumental performers in both, they have chosen to concentrate on the business side of music and recording. </p>
<p>Students at NYU can get voice lessons, but for non majors, they will be taught be grad students and will once again be focused on classical or musical theatre repetoire.</p>
