Campus Corner UW Continued . . . Vocal Arts at UW . . .
by Dr. Katrina Zook
Professor Julie Wright Costa, head of the Voice Area at the University of Utah and Associate Artistic Director of Ohio Light Opera, directed a program of opera scenes with UW voice students. The program was entitled “Mostly Mozart!” and featured duets and larger ensembles from a variety of Mozart works including Le nozze di Figaro and Die Zauberflöte. Professor Wright Costa’s UW Eminent Artist Residency spanned three days, during which time she gave a Director’s
Circle talk highlighting important aspects of vocal and character development and outlined various avenues one can choose to pursue a performance career. Students learned and rehearsed blocking over the course of six hours and ran through the program twice prior to the Sunday afternoon performance in the Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts Concert Hall.
All Things “Flute” . . . by Dr. Nicole Riner
UW faculty member, Nicole Riner, has released a new workbook appropriate for junior high through adult students. A Flutist’s Expression Workbook utilizes exercises from 19th Century vocal method books as a vehicle for developing beautiful, flexible tone and more creative expression in playing. Vocalises are presented with two sets of expression markings followed by text meant to lead the student through the musical
effect of the markings as well as specific instruction on how to perform those markings effectively. There is also an unadorned copy of each vocalise for students to mark for themselves as they explore their own musical creativity. Supplementary
58
material includes four duets, arranged from their original operatic settings, for flutes and piano, piano accompaniment to all vocalises, and .mp3 files of select accompaniments to play along with. For more information visit
