Voice Area

The voice area offers students a wide variety of classes and performance experiences. Courses are offered in applied voice, lyric diction, repertoire, opera workshop, vocal/choral pedagogy and various choral ensembles. Members of the voice faculty perform regularly both on campus and with many distinguished opera companies, orchestral ensembles and other performing organizations throughout the country. Each year, students in the voice area are recognized for excellence during the regional conference of the National Association of Teachers of Singing.

Currently, the Voice Area has 85 undergraduate and graduate majors. SFA voice students are consistent winners at the Student Auditions of the Texoma Region of NATS and have won the prestigious Singer of the Year and Grady Harlan Awards. SFA voice alumni have sung and taught throughout the world in such venues as the Metropolitan Opera, the Vienna Staatsoper, Paris Opera, Monte Carlo Opera, Michigan State University, the University of Denver, the University of Kansas, the University of Texas at San Antonio, the University of Tennessee, and countless public schools.
