Description

Voice at Michigan provides students with the opportunity and guidance to discover, explore, and develop their passions at a school with a famed tradition of producing world-class performers. The Department of Voice offers the intensity and rigor of a conservatory education at one of the nation’s top public universities, providing an unequaled opportunity for talented and inquisitive singers to receive a full-faceted education. The program’s intimate nature offers extraordinary access and support, students receive a foundation of individual training with distinguished resident faculty, and have the opportunity to work with many faculty members in addition to their studio teacher. Deeply committed to social justice and attracting, recruiting, and retaining students with wide-ranging backgrounds and identities, the department is championing diversification of repertoire and performance techniques, approaches to pedagogy, and amplifying traditionally under-represented voices. Programs are designed to offer the flexibility to explore a wide range of musical traditions, ample performance opportunities, and a curriculum designed for the 21st Century marketplace. SMTD is home to thriving communities in opera, new music, performance art technology, sacred music, chamber music, and more, offering tremendous opportunities for collaboration and exploration.

The Department of Voice continually strives to provide an inclusive and equitable application process to all students. Available faculty will provide a complimentary voice lesson or coaching, in person or virtual, to prospective students seeking to discover more about the study of voice at SMTD.
