reflections from the NATS intern program
Description
Join Nicky for a discussion about her epic experience with the NATS Intern Program for 2022.
Here’s a bit more about the program from NATS:
The NATS Intern Program is an exceptional training experience that seeks to pair expert and recognized master teachers with talented early career members of NATS. Within an intensive format designed to promote the dynamic exchange of ideas and techniques, the goal is to improve substantially the studio teaching skills of voice interns and the coaching skills of collaborative piano interns.
Voice interns teach four lessons each to two students and participate in master classes and coaching under the supervision of master teachers. Collaborative piano interns accompany lessons, perform in master classes and other sessions as appropriate, and coach voice interns under the supervision of the collaborative piano master teacher. In addition, the master teachers, a vocal literature liaison, and selected guests present special lectures and demonstrations.
NATS and the NATS Endowment provide tuition, housing, and meals. Interns are responsible for their travel expenses, though they may request financial assistance from their NATS chapters or regions as well as from their institutions of employment.
