                                                                                                        Vocal Coach Workshop

Clinician: Dr. Alejandro Avila

Vocal coaching is a piano specialty that is in constant demand nowadays. Part of an increasing market all over the world, vocal coaches collaborate and guide singers with everything that is related to the music-learning process. Understanding art song complexity, text delivery, poetry interpretation, as well as an overall preparation for opera roles are among the main endeavors of a vocal coach.

The Vocal coach workshop will be available for the first time at the Conero Festival for their participants. Dr. Alejandro Avila, a vocal coach at the University of Kansas and Washburn University, will be the guide and lecturer through this workshop, in which the many sets of skills that constitute vocal coaching will be explained and explored by the students. A general overview of Italian, German, French, and English diction will be studied. Exploring the main differences between coaching an art song and an opera aria will be discussed and analyzed. This workshop will finalize with two concert programs, comprising the main canon of vocal literature, both in art song and opera settings.

If you wish to participate of the Vocal coach Workshop, please indicate so in your application. The concert program will be set a month prior to the festival and Dr. Avila will indicate which pieces are assigned to each pianist. The piano part selected should be ready for rehearsal and coaching from day one of the workshop.

This is partial list of vocal works that will be studied and chosen for both concerts. Applicants for the workshop may start listening and analyzing these pieces prior to the festival.
