    An Infographic Repertoire Guide For Voice Instructors and Developing Singers
    (University of Oregon, 2024-05) Calderón, Esteban José Zúñiga;
    The classical music industry is a complex and ever-changing landscape. Opera companies rise and fall, and musical programs open and close throughout the United States and the American continent. Hence, an efficient training process for future professionals is more crucial than ever to preserve and expand the art form of vocal performance in the classical Western tradition. At the heart of this training is the process of assigning, studying, and presenting vocal repertoire. This challenging endeavor requires years of knowledge, experience, and research, often producing mixed results. Repertoire guides and anthologies have attempted to ease this process, but many fall short of adequately preparing the reader for the nuances of a song. This document proposes an infographic repertoire guide designed to provide valuable insights to voice students and teachers about specific repertoire pieces by analyzing the needs of modern vocal instruction in classical music and examining the existing material. It offers an easy-to-understand evaluation of the technical demands of songs, enabling a more accurate judgment of their compatibility with a potential performer by comparing the different parameters of each selection of vocal literature. The guide utilizes a series of graphics, icons, and signs that can be interpreted at a glance, providing visual information about a song's challenges and qualities. Moreover, it has the potential to be expanded and adapted to various digital platforms, making it a versatile tool for the modern classical music industry.
