Masters in Vocal Performance

Graduate School
1

<p>I am currently finishing up my undergrad and will be applying for graduate school next fall, however I'm beginning my search now. I am a large voiced, possibly, young (I'm currently 28) Verdi baritone. Haha although 28 is not young to be getting an undergrad it's still relatively young in the opera world. With all this in mind I am looking for an environment that would be good for my future as a performer. </p>

<p>Schools I've lightly investigated are:</p>

<p>University North Texas
University Missouri Kansas City
Cincinnati Conservatory (still unsure about that one to be honest)
Indiana University</p>

<p>I would appreciate any insight into these schools. I know that a couple of them have the reputation of being top notch but I'm interested in what they are currently like. </p>

<p>Thank you,
Patrick</p>

<p>Are you in the zone for AVA? It’s very small and intense. Even some of the administrators are trained opera singers. Recently it’s sent Angela Meade and Michelle Johnson into the opera world; others are on the way. Two years ago I briefly worked in the office and liked the people I met. The students seemed to appreciate the resources they had. Be prepared for a lot of work, though, including an 8:30 am fitness class that requires you to have finished breakfast by 6:30!</p>
