MUAP 3113 - French Diction

This course will broaden students’ understandings of French-language sounds as they are applied to classical singing and distinguished from the spoken language. Students will learn to transcribe French with the International Phonetic Alphabet and learn its application to French-language Opera and Art Song. Frequent performances in the classroom setting will allow students to directly apply this knowledge to their performance craft.

Prerequisites: MUAP 3111 with grade of C or greater, Consent of instructor.
