Who We Are
The Tampa Bay Chapter of the National Association of Teachers of Singing is a non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging the highest standards
of singing through excellence in teaching and promotion of vocal education and
research. Our goals include the professional advancement of the talented and
the enrichment of the general public.
Our members include private-studio teachers, college and university faculty members, and other educators who are involved and interested in healthy and artistic use of the human voice. NATS events and activities are designed to cover interests across this broad spectrum, and all members are encouraged to participate.
We provide our developing students the opportunity to sing for adjudication in both classical and musical theater repertoire; we hold professional development activities for our members, and a variety of opportunities for both teachers and singers to continue their education in the musical art of singing.
All members of this chapter are members of the National organization (http://www.nats.org) and subscribe to its Code of Ethics (http://www.nats.org/code_of_ethics.php).
We have lots of things going on in Tampa Bay; please visit our Upcoming Events, Past Events and Member News pages for details!
