The National Association of Teachers of Singing is the largest professional association of voice teachers in the world and 2024 marks the 80th anniversary for the association.
In celebration of its 80th anniversary, NATS is honoring three extraordinary volunteers for their significant contributions to the advancement of singing and voice education: Karen Brunssen, Carole Blankenship, and Dan Johnson-Wilmot.
In recognition of Professors Brunssen, Blankenship, and Johnson-Wilmot, NATS is embarking on a fundraising initiative to name three prizes in the classical category of the National Student Auditions after our esteemed colleagues.
With over 15,000 student participants, the NATS National Student Auditions offer accelerated learning opportunities through the largest series of student voice auditions in the world.
Please join us in nurturing the talents of singers and contributing to the vibrancy of the vocal arts past, present, and future with a gift to the 80th Anniversary Fund. Make your gift today!
