Transitions in the Life of a Singer Download the brochure for this conference
A discussion of the aging voice…..which basically is every one of us. If you teach young students, they age and become adults; if you teach young adults and pre-professionals or professionals, they are in transition; and for those of us who help choral singers improve, we know aging affects how they sing…
So, please support this conference and come to the banquet to here one of our new NW members, Anton Belov, who is a new faculty member at Linfield College. He will sing at the banquet on Saturday, Oct. 15th.
Matt Hayward, also a new member of NATS and PSU faculty, will participate on the musical theater panel. Gwen Leonard will lead a discussion about the aging voice.
Please address any questions regarding this event to April Duvic.
Please contact Craig Tompkins if you need a scholarship for the registration fee.
