The curriculum emphasizes both solo and ensemble performance. Solo opportunities include the weekly Vocal Forums, Recitals, the FIU Opera Theater and solos with the FIU Choral ensembles . In addition to their weekly lessons, FIU voice majors receive regular coaching on their repertoire from a staff of professionally experienced accompanists. Voice majors also receive intensive training in Phonetics for Singers, Vocal Pedagogy, and Vocal Literature. These courses, together with a comprehensive music curriculum, are designed to train singers to meet the challenges of a professional musician well into the 21st century.
