One-of-a-Kind Program

Students wishing to work in the recording studio and/or music entertainment industry should consider the Studio Music and Jazz/Vocal major. Graduates pursue careers as:

  • jazz and studio musicians,
  • jingle singers,
  • composers,
  • arrangers,
  • conductors, and
  • lyricists.
Some vocalists work in Broadway shows; others in nightclubs, pop, country, and rock concerts, and more. Through this unique, first-of-its-kind program, students develop skills in:
  • interpretation of styles,
  • musicianship,
  • arranging,
  • conducting,
  • sight-reading,
  • ear-training,
  • keyboard, and
  • large and small ensemble singing.
Though basic knowledge of the recording industry is stressed, they receive training in vocal techniques, repertoire, historical and current musical styles, and improvisation.

Masterclasses are frequently offered with jazz and studio professionals who regularly appear in the Greater Miami metropolitan area.
