Every year The National Association of Teachers of Singing conducts online National Student Auditions. The first step for students wishing to qualify for these auditions is to place in the top-5 for their age Category in their Region.

All NATS Members in the New England Region are eligible to submit their students for this opportunity!
Your students will receive Judges feedback on all of their video submissions - this is a great opportunity to discuss vocal growth with your students whether they move forward to the National Round or not!

These are voice Categories and are unrelated to the gender identity of the student. Additionally, when submitting students to any of the categories, published transpositions are permitted. Singers are expected to retain the composer's intended style of music and to convey the essence of the character portrayed in the larger work.
