Abstract
Faculty are typically required to hold graduate degrees, usually a doctorate, ensuring that the instructor is qualified to teach music theory, history, literature, and language skills in applied studio lessons and in the classroom. Growth of Professional Organizations We continue to see an expanding community of voice professionals in organizations such as the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS), New York Singing Teachers'Association (NYSTA), Pan American Vocology Association (PAVA), the Voice Foundation (TVF), Musical Theatre Educators' Alliance (MTEA), Association for Popular Music Education (АРМЕ), International Voice Teachers of Mix (IVTOM), Vocology in Practice (ViP), Institute for Vocal Advancement (IVA), and in online social media groups found on Facebook and other platforms. According to a recent survey, two-thirds of arts graduates said their first job after graduation was a close match for the kind of work they wanted, 91 percent rated their education as "excellent" or "good," and 86 percent would recommend their institution to someone like themselves.4 It is encouraging that arts alumni report these positive views, though it must be noted that only one percent of respondents in this survey were voice majors. Diversity in Higher Education The student body enrolled in collegiate music study is considerably less diverse than the rising K-12 student population.7 There are serious consequences for programs that do not acknowledge the need for improvements in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in higher education.
