Master of Music - Music - Vocal Performance

The Vocal Performance Concentration prepares students for careers in opera houses, musical theaters, jazz clubs, recording studios, concert halls, theme parks, cruise ships, with touring companies, military ensembles, chamber ensembles, and as a soloist. Performers might also teach private lessons in schools, private studios, music stores, or at the collegiate level. Finally, many performance alumni pursue doctoral degrees or develop portfolio careers that include conducting, composing, arranging, music theory, pedagogy, or arts management.

Students who wish to develop their potential as vocalists will benefit from the rich training and the myriad of performance opportunities offered at APSU as soloists, in choirs, or in opera productions.

Austin Peay's applied faculty and ensemble directors are second to none. The department is host to world class performers including leading opera singers, premier soloists, symphony musicians, Nashville's top recording studio session players, chamber musicians, and world renowned clinicians. The ensemble directors have established a tradition of excellence in vocal ensembles and opera productions. And all Music Department faculty are committed to serving the students as educators and mentors.
