Studio voice class is a laboratory class taken in conjunction with private voice lessons. The purpose of the class is to serve as a forum for students to practice their performance skills, and to receive immediate feedback from peers and instructors. Only students with a verified class or work conflict, or with special permission from their private voice instructor and Dr. Balmos will be excused from this requirement. Performance songs will be chosen from the semester s repertoire selected by the instructor 2. Grades will be based on attendance, class participation during oral evaluations, and performance skills.
Attendance is required at each class.
Excused absences will only be granted with a doctor s excuse, or at the discretion of the instructor. Students are required to attend vocal recitals presented by voice faculty members and voice major exit recitals. Failure to attend will count as two absences per performance. A minimum of three weeks notification will be given for these required recitals. Students must sign-up for a performance date prior to their class performances.
