The Vocal Arts program at UTA provides a nurturing and challenging environment where students can grow as artists, teachers and performers. The outstanding faculty provides enriching and supportive study, and the department offers rewarding performing opportunities that prepare students for future careers as professional musicians.UTA choral ensembles are dynamic and growing. The A Cappella Choir offers 40-50 select singers the opportunity to tour, record, and perform in regional and national venues, while the University Singers offers talented students from the greater UTA campus community a high quality ensemble experience. Both ensembles perform two concerts each semester on the UTA campus and periodically collaborate with orchestra.Individual voice instruction is at the heart of the vocal arts program. Weekly intensive, individually tailored lessons with caring professionals, preparation for solo recitals, and frequent performances develop students into mature artists with the skills necessary to pursue musical careers or continue their studies at the graduate level. Performance opportunities for UTA vocal students are plentiful. Students may participate in music department recitals, as soloists in choral concerts, opera workshops, UTA musical theatre productions, the National Association of Teachers of Singing conferences and student auditions, and the Metropolitan Opera National Council auditions.
