<p>can anyone give me some information on the vocal music program/scene at CMU? what genres you're able to study, what the ensembles are like, are there any a cappella groups, etc.?</p>
<p>I’ll let you know all I learned from my experiences at CMU during summer pre-college. I was a voice major and their curriculum is tough, but fun. We mainly did classical music, but contemporary and jazz are also available. The a cappella scene is pretty big, some of our pre-college counselors were members of a cappella groups, and they even formed pre-cappella during the summer. All music majors were required to participate in concert choir, which was ehhhh. Pre-college is a pretty good representation of a freshman first semester voice major. Let me know if you have any more questions.</p>
