DESCRIPTION Class Voice is designed to offer students the opportunity to study the voice as an instrument in an individual or small group setting. Students will, upon completion of the course, have a greater understanding of the basic principals of the Bel Canto or classical voice. Students will experience improved intonation, tone production, & enhanced musical interpretation. Students will gain a greater experience with the highest quality solo vocal literature as well as, learn the basics of the four singing languages (Italian, German, French & English).

CONDUCT Students are expected to conduct themselves on campus and in class so others are not distracted from the pursuit of learning. Discourteous or unseemly conduct may result in a student being asked to leave the classroom. Persistent misconduct on the part of a student is subject to disciplinary action as outlined in the Student Handbook.
Students may be disciplined for conduct, which constitutes a hazard to the health, safety, or well being of members of the College community or which is deemed detrimental to the College’s interest. These sanctions apply whether or not such conduct occurs on campus, off campus, at college sponsored or non-college-sponsored events. Disciplinary action may also be taken regardless of the existence of any criminal proceedings that may be pending or in progress.
Students attending class or related functions under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs will be asked to leave immediately. These students may be referred to the Wellness Center for evaluation before being allowed to continue in the class.
