Overview

The Master of Music in Vocal Arts is interdisciplinary and flexible. You’ll combine the rigor of classical voice training with the freedom to select an area of focus in another genre, including choral studies, music education, musical theater, and voice and opera studies. Expanding your education beyond the classical studio experience, you’ll complete a core group of private voice lessons and participate in choral ensembles.

To attain your degree you will take a comprehensive examination covering music literature and music theory, and execute a public performance, at least half of which must be a solo performance.

Future Career

The program prepares students for various careers related to the vocal arts and for further academic training at the doctoral level. Graduates leave the Vocal Arts master’s program at Temple University prepared for careers in areas like community music, education and performance.
