Objectives
Choir directors, MOE teachers or HOD’s overseeing school choir programmes, as well as private voice teachers will find this course useful in helping them teach or plan choral activities with students. The course introduces Vocal Pedagogy concepts and will consist of a mixed approach of hands on teaching with a survey of the current literature on the subject. Course requirements include supervised teaching of a beginning level voice student, assignments, in-class presentations, and mid-term and final examinations.

Content
The course is designed for current vocal practitioners with some work experience to encourage innovation in problem solving related to vocal pedagogy and in lesson design.
