Ohio University's voice division provides comprehensive vocal training through private studio instruction, studio classes, courses in lyric diction, pedagogy, and song literature. Master classes by visiting artists, performance laboratory opportunities, and solo competitions are an integral part of the curriculum. Stage training and experience is offered through Opera Theater, both in workshop classes as well as main-stage productions and scenes programs. The voice and opera theater faculty are uniquely qualified, through national and international experience, to train talented singers in the art and craft or opera performance.
The proximity of Athens to urban centers (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Pittsburgh) allows the students to take advantage of the best possibilities those centers offer, yet provide the student with an environment conducive to hard work and learning, free of distractions other than the beauty of the surrounding countryside.
