Abstract:What do collaborative piano and university administration have in common? After sixteen years of working as a professor of Collaborative Piano/Vocal coach, I entered the world of administration. Making this shift revealed the lessons learned through collaborative piano and the unique strengths and abilities that a life in collaboration has given me. In this article, I reflect on my journey and the insights gained along the way.

Abstract:Studio instruction in voice inevitably involves the monitoring of pronunciation in the text of the song or aria. The contrastive approach regularly applied in ESL instruction is a resource that can clarify systematically the differences between languages, especially for the student whose first language is not English. Instruction based on a firm basic knowledge of the sound pattern of a student’s first language—especially those outside the languages of the standard literature—provides an enhanced understanding of singing in languages other than the student’s own, more than imitative modeling alone can.

Abstract:While studies have defined voice teacher expertise, seldom have associations been made between voice teachers and their students’ performing achievements. This study investigated which characteristics and attributes of successful classical and music theatre voice teachers influence student success. A sample of 123 Australian voice teachers (77% females, 22% males, 1% non-binary), aged 26–78 years old (M=48.23), completed an online, quantitative survey examining teacher background, experience, and genre. Additionally, standardised, quantitative measures examined psychological components such as teacher empathy and leadership. Findings demonstrated statistically significant associations between greater student achievement and the teacher’s own performance and teacher training and achievements as well as the number of students they have taught. Additionally, teacher leadership, specifically training facilitation and positive feedback, was statistically positively associated with student achievement. Teacher genre was not found to influence student success. These findings indicate that incorporating leadership training into voice pedagogy courses, while facilitating ongoing performing and professional development, could contribute to voice teacher expertise which would conceivably produce more successful students.

NATS member Edrie Means Weekly has been a pedagogue and performing artist of both opera and musical theatre for over 35 years. In this article, Edrie discusses the audition process at the Kennedy City and in New York City resulting in her being cast as a standby for five Broadway stars in the 2011 revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Follies starring Bernadette Peters. Four of the five roles have large solo songs including the iconic songs “Broadway Baby” and “I’m Still Here”. The four songs were each written in a different musical style ranging from classical to full out traditional belt. As a vocal pedagogue, she discusses the styles of each song and the Vocal Stylisms or effects she added for emotion and expression to enhance the style. Edrie also includes one of her own vocal exercises she developed for herself back in the late 1980s to create laryngeal flexibility as she performed professionally in opera and musical theatre. She includes a couple of stretches useful for singers and dancers which were provided by Follies Broadway choreographer Warren Carlyle. Edrie talks about track cards and being a swing and discusses her preparation to build stamina to sing and dance a seven-minute tap song. Edrie Means Weekly’s article provides advice for those preparing for singing multiple styles in one show.
NATS成员Edrie Means Weekly从事歌剧和音乐剧教学和表演超过35年。在这篇文章中，Edrie讨论了在肯尼迪城和纽约市的试镜过程，结果她在2011年由Bernadette Peters主演的Stephen Sondheim的Follies中被选为五位百老汇明星的备用演员。五个角色中有四个角色有大型独唱歌曲，包括标志性歌曲“百老汇宝贝”和“我还在这里”。这四首歌都是用不同的音乐风格写的，从古典到完全的传统带。作为一名声乐教师，她会讨论每首歌的风格，以及她为情感和表达添加的声乐风格或效果，以增强风格。Edrie还包括她自己在20世纪80年代后期为自己开发的一种声乐练习，以创造喉的灵活性，因为她在歌剧和音乐剧中进行专业表演。她包括了一些对歌手和舞者有用的伸展动作，这些伸展动作是由百老汇剧团的编舞沃伦·卡莱尔提供的。Edrie谈到了轨道卡和作为一个秋千，并讨论了她的准备，以建立耐力唱歌和跳舞一个七分钟的踢踏舞歌。Edrie Means Weekly的文章为那些准备在一场演出中演唱多种风格的人提供了建议。

World Voice Day with its theme of Your Voice Matters, is celebrated on April 16 each year. This observance encourages NATS members to seek out the resources necessary to promote healthy voice use. NATS members have access to a wide variety of resources including the Journal of Singing, NATS Live Learning Center, the Science-Informed Voice Pedagogy Resources, Vocapedia, and NATS Chats. Another resource to access for education of respectful and inclusive voice use is our I.D.E.A. Toolkit. Its three modules educate us in ways we can include and celebrate every voice within NATS because All Voices Matter. Every. Single. One.
