Berklee College of Music is a prestigious school for jazz and contemporary music. Taking advantage of the unique strengths of the university, a unique program for singers to sing contemporary music, "Vocal Summit," is held. The content is suitable not only for singers, but also for songwriters and those who sing while playing instruments such as playing the guitar. Students can choose from pop, rock, R&B, jazz, and musicals, and learn vocal techniques, styles, performance techniques, band performances, group singing, a cappella performances, etc., focusing on vocal ensembles and solo lessons. The required subjects offered during the period are vocal solo and vocal ensemble. The elective subjects change every year, but in the past, there was a wide variety such as improvisation, backing vocals, recording and mixing vocals, beatboxing, singer-songwriter workshops, and the present, past, and future of R&B and soul music. Everything you need to know as a contemporary music singer is packed into this short but intense one week. The professors in charge of the Vocal Summit are not only professors from the proud vocal department of Berklee College of Music, but also professional vocalists who are active on the front lines. Their vocal techniques and technology, cultivated through daily practice, will surely be a model for those who aim to become professional musicians. Those who sing contemporary music on a daily basis, as well as those who specialize in classical music such as opera, will be surprised by the discovery of new repertoire and new voices of their own. You can choose between student dormitories and homestays for accommodation, but student dormitories are popular and early applications are required. You will have free time in Boston before and after the seminar, so it is also ideal for sightseeing.
*If you are interested in this course, we recommend that you take an online lesson from Cassandre McKinley sensei, who will be in charge of the course, before traveling.
