What Sets Us Apart

At the John Large Vocal Arts Laboratory at TCU, we address both the art and science of singing. Our studio instruction is enhanced by tools aiding in understanding the physiological and acoustical processes of the voice. Through specialized equipment and software, you’ll learn the acoustic parameters of pitch control, fundamental frequency and harmonic partials affecting vocal timbre, vowels and linguistic accuracy.

Career Prospects

Our graduates have gone on to work for operatic groups, like the Los Angeles and Wolf Trap opera companies in the U.S., Deutsche Oper Berlin in Germany and the Grand Théâtre de Genève in Switzerland. Through the power of the human voice, these Horned Frogs have helped bridge cultures and gained a broader perspective of the world around them.

Others have chosen to continue their academic studies in prestigious graduate programs such as Boston Conservatory of Music, New England Conservatory of Music, Eastman School of Music, University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, University of Southern California, Cleveland Institute, Manhattan School of Music and the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria.
