Summary:

"Many varying approaches to vocal instruction exist in higher education programs which appear to prolong inconsistency and unengaged performing. This research explores several existentialist principles of Jean-Paul Sartre and how these principles may inform and enhance current vocal teaching practice in higher education and perhaps better prepare new voice teachers. The study considers the effectiveness of the application of Sartre's existentialist principles and how they may inform vocal instruction and improve vocal development. In this way, this study is a pedagogical tool for currently practicing teachers as well as a valuable resource for new voice teachers"-- Provided by publisher.
