Vocal FACULTY

The mission of the Conservatory Voice Department is to enable every voice major to develop his/her talent as far as possible in four years, in order that they can achieve their goals, whether it be to enter graduate school, perform, teach, conduct, or lead worship. Our voice teachers seek to teach a healthy vocal technique that will enhance the students' God given gifts. The conservatory provides numerous vocal performance outlets through choral ensembles, opera, and performances with the orchestra. Recent alumni are currently in some of the finest graduate schools in the country, including Eastman, Manhattan, Peabody, and the fletcher Opera Program. Alumnus Earle Patriarco (1989) sings regularly with the Metropolitan Opera, and Katie Van Kooten (2001) recently made her international debut at the royal Opera House at Covent Garden in London. Other alumni head major high school music programs, and still others are teaching on the university level.
