DCPL 06 LEVEL 1 UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE IN SINGING
Study Objectives
By the end of a bachelor’s degree in Singing, students should have developed the technical skills and intellectual understanding that will allow them to realise their personal artistic vision and ambitions. To this end particular emphasis is placed on the study of the most important vocal repertoire (operatic, choral, sacred, chamber music) and of the associated techniques and practices, with the aim in mind of developing the student’s ability to perform in a wide range of musical ensembles. These objectives should be achieved with a focus on developing the student’s aural and memorisation skills and on obtaining the knowledge specific to the organisation, composition and analysis of music and the relationship between these aspects. Particular care should be given to the development of good control of posture and emotional expression. At the end of a bachelor’s students must have acquired a thorough understanding of the stylistic, historical and aesthetic aspects of vocal performance, both in general and relative to their particular field of interest. Further study objectives of the course include the attainment of sufficient skills in musical ICT as well as the study of a second language.
