Young Artists Program 2012
On June 4, 2012, The Butler Opera Center Young Artist Program begins its third season on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. Recognized by college and high school faculty as the premier high school solo voice training program in Texas, the BOCYAP offers world-class
training for talented high school and early college students. As featured in Classical Singer magazine, the curriculum includes individual voice instruction with the internationally acclaimed faculty of the Butler School of Music, as well as classes related to the art of singing. Included are sessions specifically designed to prepare young singers for the application and audition process for undergraduate music schools and professional young artist programs, as well as an art song competition. At the end of
the program, students will perform a Solo and Opera Scenes Concert comprised of musical theater and opera scenes.

The BOCYAP will expand to two days per week (Monday and Tuesday) and divide singers into two groups, Company A and Company B. Company A will meet on Mondays only, and Company B will on Tuesdays only. The second week of instruction includes two extra days, June 14 & 15(one for each company). The curriculum will include individual voice instruction and classes related to the art of singing, including diction classes, song and aria interpretation, dance and the science behind vocal production. There will also be courses designed to prepare young singers for the application and audition process of undergraduate music schools and professional young artist programs.
