4 credits
Full Year
Bénédicte Jourdois

A thorough study of the phonemes of the French language from the points of view of phoneticization (I.P.A.), vocalization, and interpretive expression of the text. Application of these to the song and operatic repertoire with stress on declamation of translations and healthy, intelligible, expressive singing in French. Open-class recital at the conclusion of the spring term.
