This book explores the intersection of power, privilege, and classical music in higher education's voice pedagogy through an extensive study of teachers' experiences, training, and backgrounds. It argues that current training fails to prepare instructors to teach the range of vocal styles needed in contemporary musical theatre, and proposes changes to address this issue.

This comprehensive book delves into the intricate intersection of power, privilege, and classical music in higher education, undertaking an extensive examination of the experiences, training, and backgrounds of teachers of musical theatre singing. Through a detailed mapping of the divides within the voice pedagogy field, it reveals how, despite the growth of non-classical programs, the teaching of vocal music in the United States remains structurally dominated by Western classical music. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and observations of practicing instructors, the author compellingly argues that the current classical-centered approach in voice pedagogy training fails to adequately prepare instructors to teach the diverse range of vocal styles required in the contemporary musical theatre profession. By combining a critical review of existing practices with proposals for change, this book sheds valuable light on a pressing issue in voice pedagogy today.

Drawing on Shulmans renowned pedagogies theory and Bourdieus concepts of habitus, capitals, practice, and field, this book offers valuable insights for scholars, researchers, and practitioners in voice pedagogy, higher music education, performance education, cultural studies, music, musical theatre, and theatre studies. It serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the complex dynamics at play in the teaching and learning of vocal music within the context of higher education.
