Program Overview

Combining the pedagogical practices of classical, musical theater, and contemporary voice with scientific analysis of vocal anatomy, Boston Conservatory at Berklee's vocal pedagogy graduate program is the only comprehensive voice pedagogy program in the world for singers who wish to become teachers of singing with advanced diagnostic skills and knowledge of healthy practice and performance solutions for a variety of singing opportunities.
