Vocal Studies
The
Vocal Program of Nebraska Wesleyan's Music Department
attracts many of the finest young singers in the
Midwest as well as throughout the nation. Each
year the NWU Voice Program participates in the
Nebraska State NATS (National
Association of Teachers of Singing) contest,
frequently entering more students than from any
other college or university in the state. Generally
Wesleyan's voice students comprise 30% of the
contest finalists and 25% of those finalists who
place. |

Five
ensembles are open to student audition each year
providing the opportunity for nearly any student
to have a wonderful choral experience. The University
Choir, under the direction of Dr. William A Wyman,
is the most visible of the choral ensembles with
its annual US tours and frequent international tours.
The "Touch of Class" jazz choir also tours annually
throughout the states and frequently holds clinics
for area and Nebraska high school and junior high
swing choirs. The Chamber Singers ensemble performs
the annual Elizabethan Feast Celebrations and frequently
holds clinics for high school madrigal and chamber
choirs. The Men's Glee and Women's Chorus offer
fine choral ensemble experience to mostly non-majors.
Every
year the Department of Music, sometimes in conjunction
with the Theatre Department, auditions students
for roles in the spring Opera or Musical Theatre
Production; and each semester the voice department
produces several opera scenes in Opera Workshop,
giving students experience with operatic repertoire.
Nebraska Wesleyan is also home to the Lincoln Civic
Choir, an amateur adult choir consisting of members
from the Lincoln community. |
