The Indianapolis Opera is proud to introduce the Vocal Arts Institute, a program for students from grades 9 to 12 that explores the art of solo performance through classical repertoire, folksong, and musical theater. Students will also enjoy classes in movement, sight singing, and theory, and will learn the International Phonetic Alphabet–a useful tool in the learning of diction for any language. In addition to academic studies, the students present several performances at the Basile, as well as in the community.
Students receive individual attention through private lessons and daily master classes. Our highly acclaimed faculty bring their extensive experience on stage and in the classroom to benefit these young singers.
The Vocal Arts Institute is in its 20th season. Our students have performed consistently well in solo competitions such as ISSMA and the Prelude Awards. They have also been well prepared for their college entrance auditions and are now pursuing degrees at schools such as the University of Indianapolis, Indiana University, DePaul University, DePauw University, Butler University, Carnegie Mellon University, Ball State University, The University of Cincinnati (CCM), Northwestern University and Florida State University.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
Sincerely,
Dr. Rachelle Woolston, Indy Opera Ed. Director
