<p>Rice U Shepherd </p>

<p>Why do I get the feeling that shepherd is focused around Instrumental music more than vocal music?</p>
<p>i have no idea..............share with us</p>
<p>The vocal program is small compared to IU and some of the other large programs, but it is absolutely excellent. There are lots of performance opps for undergraduates, although my senior D feels the focus is, unfortunately, changing a little and is sliding towards a more grad student focus. The ensembles are excellent. If you want info on the vocal program, send me a PM and I'll put you in touch with my daughter.</p>
