• W284825192 abstract "HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SEEN OUR MISSION STATEMENT? How many times have we really read and pondered it? The mission of NATS is to encourage the of the vocal art and of in the teaching of singing and to promote vocal education and research at all levels, both for the enrichment of the general public and for the professional advancement of the talented. Chances are that our eyes skimmed over the statement as we searched for the information we were seeking, for example, the conference schedule, how to apply for membership, or the list of workshop presenters. Chances are even better that if we read it, we saw highest standards and ethical principles and skipped the remainder about promoting vocal education and research. To rectify that possible omission, I am going to take a back-to-the-future approach and look at our Mission Statement in reverse order. NATS is not political in the sense that it endorses candidates or parties, but we do want to support legislation that provides music education in our schools and communities. Most of this activity has been done on an individual basis, but we may want to consider how our chapters, districts, and regions, as well as the whole Association, can speak for keeping music a viable part of our children's education. As we look at the dwindling pool of young male singers entering our colleges and conservatories, we have to wonder why this is occurring. It is an oft repeated observation after competitions, such as NATSAA or the Met Auditions, that there were so few men. One of the reasons might be that in high school, young men often have to decide between sports and music. If they choose music, they may have to choose between band and chorus, and, of course, the band gets to wear those sharp uniforms and take fun trips more often than the chorus. It would be wonderful if they could do both activities if they wished, and not have to choose between them. As a consequence, universities and young artist programs all are vying for the same outstanding male singers. Intuition seems to tell us that there must be as many fine baritones and tenors as there are mezzos and sopranos, but they have not been encouraged or inspired to develop their voices. Dr. Kandie Smith, Executive Director of NATS, is deeply interested in this issue, and is investigating ways to find grants to fund teachers to teach atrisk youth and in underserved communities. The primary focus would be on K-12 students. Research has shown that if a student is not singing in middle school, he/she will not be likely to sing in high school. Singing in a chorus is an activity that provides a sense of community which will enrich the life of any student, and may provide the opportunity for a gifted singer to discover that gift. The MusicLink Foundation website states a belief that any- one who has musical potential should be given the opportunity to nurture this musical promise to its full extent. Its address [www.musiclinkfoundation.org] was given to me by a piano teacher from Junction City, Kansas, Leonetta Bibby, when we met some years ago at one of our MTNA/NATS joint workshops. I called her only recently and she was so gracious-another example of the network of caring teachers of music in a world that very much needs it. Promoting research is a little more clear cut and easier to track. First, we have The Voice Foundation, which has worked closely with NATS and has contributed immensely to research on the voice and all aspects of speech production; its annual symposia have sparked interest in voice research all over the world. Singers are poetic athletes, but athletes on the cutting edge of what the laryngeal mechanism is capable of performing. We are the quadruple jumpers, and as a consequence, may be more aware when something goes awry. As the voice specialists work with us, they gain knowledge to help others, even while we benefit from their treatment. …" @default.
