• W289370502 abstract "IN RECENT YEARS, IT HAS BEEN MY PRIVILEGE to travel the globe, presenting lectures on voice pedagogy, teaching master classes, and adjudicating competitions. The pace of these events has certainly accelerated during my time of service to NATS as president of the Association. Last fall, my wife Marcia and I were invited to New Zealand and Australia for an extensive series of events sponsored by NEWZATS, ANATS, and the Queensland Conservatorium-a trip that counts among the true highlights of our entire lives. In the United States, I've worked with the NATS Intern Program and national workshops, and have made presentations for NATS chapters and universities from South Carolina to British Columbia and California to Rhode Island. This, of course, is in addition to my regular teaching at Westminster College of the Arts and the periodic classes offered live and online through the Professional Development Program of the New York Singing Teachers Association. And then there is my studio teaching, where hardly a week goes by without a new request for lessons. I mention the above merely to highlight the vast numbers of people who are driven to pursue the art of singing. Clearly, there is a thirst for knowledge about our art, whether from a pedagogic or performance perspective. Training programs for young singers have proliferated exponentially in recent years. We now have a plethora of apprentice and young artist programs, supported by an ever expanding range of pre-YAP and pay to sing opportunities, few of which existed years ago when I was at that formative stage in my own singing career. Teacher training has also experienced dramatic change. For much of our history, it was generally assumed that the best, if not only training required for teaching was a successful career as a performer, preferably on the operatic stage. We now, however, have increasing numbers of universities offering specialized degrees in voice science and pedagogy, along with workshops and professional development opportunities (accredited and not) designed to enhance our teaching skills. As you all are aware, NATS is in the midst of a major membership drive. Given the trends seen in late fall 2009, when this column was actually written, I am confident we have now exceeded our goal of 7,000 members. This is good, especially when we consider the staggering numbers of people who are studying singing. When everyone is accounted for over the full range from recreational to professional singers, the number must certainly exceed a quarter million-probably by a wide margin. The remainder of my thoughts on this matter will be directed to a specific subset of this larger group: preprofessional singers who seek a career in singing. Regardless of whether the goal is the Metropolitan Opera, Broadway, or top 40, the old adage still holds true that are called, but few are chosen. According to the most recent statistics available through the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), more than 9,000 students were enrolled as voice performance majors in accredited institutions at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels in 2008.1 Several thousand more were likely in the interim stage between the conclusion of academic study and the onset of a sustainable career. Fortunately for these aspirants, many singers are needed to fill our stages and concert halls. The Metropolitan alone counts over 375 on its roster. And with some twenty musicals currently running on Broadway, significant numbers of singing actors are able to find gainful employment. But even if we consider every theater, touring company, concert hall, church, club, or other venue in which singers are hired to perform throughout the United States and abroad, the total number of jobs still is far smaller than the number of people pursuing them. We all know this to be true, but often forget just how lopsided the odds for any individual actually are. I sometimes remind my singers that their chances of making it to the A list are about the same odds faced by a political science major who aspires to a seat in the U. …" @default.
