We are excited to announce our next NATS On Point event. Please join us for “The Independent Voice Studio – Many Paths, Many Practices,” an informal and interactive panel discussion hosted by the members of the Programs and Services Committee. We will cover a range of topics, including policies, payments, studio practices, scheduling, reopening in a COVID era, online presence, and favourite teaching materials and resources. This session will be equally useful for the newer, less experienced teacher looking to further expand their teacher career, the musician who is embarking on a mid-career pivot, and the experienced teacher who is looking for new ideas or would like to share what they have learned with a supportive network of colleagues.

RSVP to Allison Arends
To attend, please RSVP to the chair of the Programs and Services Committee at allison@allisonarends.com. A zoom link will be sent out the day before the event.
