Abstract
This thesis is designed to aid teachers in choosing repertoire for students, analyzing pedagogical appeal of repertoire selections, and applying them to a technical regimen. Creating a pedagogical analysis of a song prior to assigning it to a student will aid in the effectiveness of technique acquisition and application. This essay employs this strategy using seven songs of Stephen Foster and applying them to hypothetical students. These students are limited to male singers at a beginning level.
Keywords
Stephen Foster; teaching voice; beginning male students; singing; song repertoire
