Vocal Performance Jazz/Rock/Pop

The main subject comprises the subjects rhythm (microtiming, phrasing, articulation, offbeat/onbeat, passing, metric/free design), melodic/harmonic (jazz specific harmonics, vertical or horizontal improvisation, guide-ton method, singing out changes, melodic embellishment, chord progressions, scales, permutations), sound (perception of one's own voice, timbres, scat singing, free improvisation, instrumental singing, ranting/poetry), correpetition, dramatic training, subject-specific stage dance, compositional singing and vocal improvisation. On the basis of jazz stylistics, space is given to the individual development in different styles. 

The programme is rounded off by extended courses, e.g. in music pedagogy, methodology and teaching practice, instrumental second subject, voice physiology, which can be chosen individually. 

The study programme is accompanied by workshops, which are conducted by guest lecturers of the respective genre.
