Happy Monday everyone! I just wanted you all to know that we have started up a Student NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing) Club on the campus of EOU. We had our first meeting last friday where we talked about what students wanted to do in the club (and came up with some great ideas!) along with reviewing a draft constitution and appointing officers.
President: Jon Davidson
Vice President: Dan Lockart
Secretary: Mallory Livingston
Treasurer: Erin Rufener
Faculty Advisor: Jamie Jacobson
I will be posting the draft of the constitution here tomorrow for you to review. I believe it was decided that we would vote to accept the constitution at our next meeting FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21st. For now, the club has decided that we will be meeting every other Friday at 2:30.
During the next meeting, I was asked to present some beginning information on how to structure a voice lesson and asked to maybe give one in front of the club. It was pointed out in the meeting that students rarely have the opportunity to sit in for other people's lesson and observe the teaching/learning process. When they think of teaching the lesson, most beginners can only pull from what they have learned themselves while in the studio. We'll be talking about that and I am in the process of gathering some great resources for the club on that very topic.
It's going to be a wonderful adventure as we explore vocal pedagogy. We hope you can join us whenever you can! If you'd like to be an "official member" of the club, please notify one of the officers listed above and we'll make sure you are on the list.
