Sharing your voice—the voice that God gave you—is a gift to the world. Being able to pierce through the silence in the universal language of music can bring both melodic harmony and a sense of harmony and peace to a hurting world. At HU, you’ll grow in your ability to use your God-given voice to bring melodies and harmonies to life. As a vocalist, you need to be able to match pitch quickly and accurately, sing back short melodies and rhythms, and sight sing simple melodies on cue. Through studying theory and musicianship, you’ll grow in these skills and feel comfortable as a performer and future career musician.
