Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
The music industry is shifting away from the traditional concert in traditional venues. New and innovative concert experiences are beginning to be designed to continue to find ways to speak to new audiences.

The Use Of Vocal Vibrato In Contemporary Performances Of Early Music, Kaylee Ann Simmons
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
The aim of this project is to help collegiate vocalists reconcile opposing views of applying vibrato to contemporary performances of early music.

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

This gives me an opportunity to apply everything I’ve learned to see if it really works, and what my particular teaching style and philosophy is. At Sky View High School, I had the opportunity to teach the Sophomore Concert Band. For my thesis project, I decided to arrange a piece just for them – to rehearse with them and to score it to the strengths of the ensemble. Since I …
