About Classical Voice

The term classical voice is used to describe a certain singing technique used in classical music. Classical music typically refers to the formal musical tradition of the western world. The term first began to appear around the beginning of the 19th century. Defining exactly what falls under the category of “classical” however is up for debate till this day. Classical music is a living tradition that's being defined and redefined every day.

Even though famous composers like Mozart, Beethoven and Bach will always be seen as some of the main figures of classical music, it is important to note that the long history of classical music didn’t begin with them and certainly didn’t end with them.
