Degrees offered
The Voice faculty at Boston University is dedicated to a program of study commensurate with the demands of professional singing. At each level of study, students pursue the highest standards of training in the development of technique, repertoire, languages, and musicianship. The artist, we believe, synthesizes all aspects of training with heart, mind, and body. Performance opportunities may include degree and nondegree recitals, auditioned roles in choral works, opera scenes, and productions (upper classmen and graduate students only), performance and diction courses, as well as contemporary chamber works. All students study with faculty members in a positive and collegial atmosphere. The Voice department takes pride in its tradition of esprit de corps among its vocal performance majors.
The Boston University Opera Institute is a nondegree, professional training program for the serious singer preparing for an operatic career. Performers are chosen by realistic evaluation of professional potential.
