In the module “Artistic Major in Singing (Musical) I”, consisting of the courses “Artistic Major in Singing (Musical) I”, “Coaching Musical I” and “Role and Song I”, students receive comprehensive training in singing skills. This module forms the central area of the Music Education course in the Musical specialization. A broadly diversified training ensures the basis for a methodically varied and high level of teaching competence and is therefore a strategically important segment of the degree course. Due to the diversity of the subject, the basics of voice training must be oriented towards a variety of musical styles.

Basics of the main artistic subject of singing (musical): 
Voice training is based on reflective processes, which are learned using specific practice patterns. This takes place with the help of vocalizations as well as through the use of musical literature. 
With the help of kinaesthetic, auditory and imaginative methods, sensitization processes take place that enable a deeper understanding of artistic singing. 
Methods for releasing tension are used to release incorrect sequences stored in muscle memory. A deeper understanding is achieved through the explanation of anatomical conditions. 

Repetition: Students acquire a gradually increasing repertoire of vocal literature and learn to perform together with others.

Role and song: 1. transferring the basics of acting to a scene with singing. 2. improvisation to merge singing and acting tasks. 3. dealing with the character and situation in the context of the play 4. finding one's own attitude towards the character and the initial situation.

The total workload for the module is 300 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").
