| | Vocal Performance 5,6 allows intermediate musicians to further develop their vocal technique and tonal control. They will begin to independently monitor and modify their own pitch, diction, and interpretation, and evaluate performances using more sophisticated analysis. More complex musical concepts, notation, and vocabulary will be studied, including modulations, cadences, and multiple types of scales. Students will perform diverse repertoire that take place in a variety of performance settings and venues. They will create longer and more intricate compositions, improvisations, and arrangements of music, and improve their aural skills through transcription. The students will complete a musical career research project and draw conclusions about the context of a piece based on its stylistic features. |
