A Word from Our President — September 22, 2007
Dear Colleagues:
I hope that your teaching schedule has fallen into place and that you will have a few moments to look over our online improvements. We have changed things considerably in an effort to be more efficient and to direct our efforts to your teaching needs.
You will see by browsing the site that the Boston Chapter of NATS has several programs coming up that have been specifically tailored to the requests you made in last fall's survey. I hope that you will attend and tell your fellow teachers about them. The first workshop is called The Speech Pathologist's Role in Vocal Rehabilitation and will take place on October 17th. The second workshop is called Teaching Men to Sing and will take place on November 18th. This should be especially helpful to teachers who are setting up a studio for the first time. We also will be collaborating with the New School of Music in a spring workshop for musical theatre singers. Details regarding this will follow.
As I do in every letter, I remind you that in order to be an active member of the Boston chapter of NATS, you must first be a member in good standing of the National organizion. Ifyou have any questions regarding your current status, please go to the National Website to determine your status. Our dues are paid in the fall, and National dues are paid in January. Since this frequently causes confusion especially during the Song Festivals, I risk being redundant and urge you to keep your status up-to-date.
I hope that you will enjoy our new website and that I'll see you at one of our upcoming events.
All the best,
Thomas Enman
President
Boston Chapter
