What's New in the Voice Department?
NEW 5 YEAR BM-MM DEGREES APPROVED!

The selection process takes place in the junior year and includes academic and performance requirements. Students selected for the program maintain their initial financial assistance levels throughout the five years of study.
NEW VOCAL CHAMBER MUSIC CLASS ADDED (TEAM TAUGHT)!
One of the great things about the Peabody experience is the "team teaching" approach which the voice department has embraced in numerous ways. The vocal chamber music course provides a special opportunity for collaboration with Peabody student composers and performers from other areas. It is coached by conservatory faculty who are among the world's great chamber musicians. Students in this course explore and perform repertoire of the eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries.
NEW VOCAL ACCOMPANYING DEGREE APPROVED!
Chaired by Eileen Cornett, vocalists and pianists study repertoire of several centuries and of every style. Working together and discovering the means of collaboration, articulation differences, language difficulties, makes this a must-do course for pianists who wish to work with singers in their careers.

Indiviuals accepted in the MM in voice with pedagogy emphasis will be assigned a three-person advisory committee. Students will develop expertise in the art of teaching as well as performing.
