• W767295512 abstract "INTRODUCTIONMary Saunders-Barton and Norman SpiveyIn 2011, after several years of gestation, Penn State launched its MFA in Voice Pedagogy for Musical Theatre. The impulse to create a program specifically for music theater voice teachers came as a direct response to what appeared to be an obvious deficit at the collegiate level. Having presented Bel Canto/Can Belto workshops on campus and across the country, and with a tradition of pedagogy at Penn State, we were fully poised to begin this new venture. Christy Turnbow was our first student and, in many ways, was also the perfect model of our vision for the program.We early realized that every aspect of the of these teachers would be collaborative, a group effort. Voice teaching is one aspect of an integrated process that includes acting and dance as well as related skills of speech and movement. Teachers need to respect the interdependence of these skills in performers. In addition, these teachers-in-training require robust facility in music, music theory, and piano. (Music theater voice teachers need to be able to accompany their students!) They must also acquire and maintain a broad familiarity with the repertoire of many different styles of singing in performance and practice. They need plentiful hands-on, supervised teaching experience in all these styles as well. They need a thorough working knowledge of the voice, both anatomy and function, and the curiosity to pursue more knowledge in the larger community of voice professionals. And we haven't even mentioned individualized voice training.The program we envisioned would have to be extremely flexible, capable of meeting the needs of students with very different strengths and deficien - cies. We concluded that the effectiveness of such a program would lie in combining resources of our School of Theatre and School of Music. The hybrid curriculum would be interdisciplinary, with half of the course credits coming from music and the other half from theater. The degree would be in theater, however, taking advantage of an artistic synergy already flourishing among the existing MFA programs in acting, and in directing and music directing for music theater.The core of the program is the voice training. Providing each student with weekly classical and music theater voice lessons takes collaboration to a whole new level. Sharing students requires trust, confidence, and a meeting of the minds. The teachers need to stay in close contact, allowing the student to sort out the teaching styles and information that might at first glance seem to conflict. Stretching the student in diverse ways requires faith on the part of the student and both teachers, but the results can be exciting. In many ways it is like a double major, but on the same instrument.The two of us have been collaborating for fifteen years, so we felt very comfortable proceeding along this path together. We had many long, animated conversations driving home from our meetings of the American Academy of Teachers of Singing in New York City, dissecting every detail of what was going on in Christy's lessons.Christy's work at Penn State stretched her in many directions. It was fascinating to see the growth that took place with this approach and how the lessons complemented each other in surprising ways. Her development was also enhanced by the inclusion of a Shakespeare class and a role in Love's Labours Lost. As a final performance project, she created a rollicking comedic cabaret, exploring the definition of a diva and showcasing all of her singing skills. It included the laments of Adelaide, Fiordiligi, Lady of the Lake (Spamalot), and Cunegonde.Watching from the wings like eager parents, we have been waiting to see how Christy's would serve her in the real world. She has had time to reflect on her experience and the impact it is having on her career.IN CHRISTY'S WORDSThe Oxford English Dictionary defines cross-training as: training in several different sports to improve fitness or performance in one's main sport. …" @default.
