Skills for Singing
When: Fall 2021 (September 16 - November 18); Spring 2022 TBD
Instructor: Elizabeth Eschen
Location: Holden Chapel
Course Description: Skills for Singing is a co-curricular, non-credit, no-fee course offering weekly voice training in a group setting, with a particular focus on understanding how the voice functions and regularly applying that knowledge through class repertoire. Each class will also devote time to reading and sight-singing Western musical notation. All experience levels are welcome, as each student will grow from where they are and discover more about their unique voice, personal musicianship, and artistic style. Participation in the course is encouraged for those new to singing, those looking to audition for the Harvard Choruses, operas, musicals, or a cappella groups, or any new members of the Harvard ensembles looking to further their vocal abilities.
The Fall 2021 section will take between 15-20 students, pending space restrictions. Priority is given to Harvard College undergraduates, but Harvard graduate students and Harvard faculty/staff/affiliates are welcome for consideration and greatly contribute to the class experience. All singers will be masked and follow the Harvard University protocols concerning COVID-19.
Interested students should fill out the lottery form found at the OFA website (linked below) by 11:59pm on Friday, September 10th. The class list will go out by Sunday evening, September 12th, with the first class to start Thursday, September 16th.
