Vocal Music Department Overview What will students do in vocal music at YPAS? Participate in choral ensembles and small groups that are focused on educating the student in classical singing. Students will learn art song repertoire and choral repertoire of many different styles and genres Attention will be paid to the student’s growth as an individual in terms of their solo singing and ensemble singing.

Vocal Music Department Overview What kinds of skills are taught in YPAS vocal? Vocal technique based in the Italianate school of singing. Music literacy, especially skill of music reading without the need of piano or rote learning. Understanding of scores at a higher level than merely being able to sing it. Artistry rather that simply being technically correct

Why do students come to YPAS? Usually it is because they want immersion in a place with like minded students. They understand that at YPAS music is a discipline not a hobby or just a fun class. This leads to high quality performance which is fun, but to get the most out of it, a lot of work is involved. They want to achieve on a high level Many want to pursue music beyond high school.
