The Bachelor of Music in Music Theater is focused on training students with a high proficiency in singing for a career in Broadway-style performance. The degree is one of the most music intensive in the country and couples rigorous music training with equally rigorous courses in dance, acting, performance techniques, stagecraft, and general studies. The faculty is committed to training musical theater majors as professional musicians as well as highly skilled dancers and actors. Our graduates have experienced great success due, in large part, to the music training we provide Students in the musical theater program audition for all six of the Bass School of Music annual productions and are cast in musicals and operas alike. Our productions integrate the skills of the curriculum: music and text analysis and preparation, character analysis, acting skills, movement, dance, and diction. Students gain performance skills in not only musical theater but also classical and operatic repertoire. Each student must complete a junior recital consisting entirely of classical repertoire and a senior recital focused on music theater repertoire and related styles. This vocal cross training makes our graduates competitive and versatile. In addition to the rigorous training our musical theater students receive, graduating seniors audition for a New York City Showcase and have the opportunity to work with professionals in the field and audition for agents and casting directors.
