We are primarily seeking an accomplished and excellent applied voice teacher able to effectively train pre-professional singers in both contemporary and classical singing styles. CCU graduates often go on to have successful performing careers in a variety of genres, therefore significant development in the students’ applied voice studies will be critical.

This position may also teach undergraduate voice area or music education coursework (e.g., song literature, diction) based on the candidate’s expertise. The selected candidate will serve as an active member of the music faculty by attending meetings, serving on committees, and participating in student recruitment and retention activities.
