Scholarship Fund
Anyone may donate to the scholarship fund via PayPal or by mailing a cheque to our treasurer. All donations go directly to the scholarship fund, which is divided amongst the winners of the Vocal Showcase. As NATS Ontario is a charitable organization, donations will be given a tax receipt at the end of the year.
In 2018, NATS Ontario distributed nearly $7,000 in scholarships at the Vocal Showcase.
In 2017, NATS Ontario was thrilled to distribute $7,650 in scholarships to deserving young singers.
Canadian Voice Pedagogy Award
Empowering Voices, Transforming Futures, Honouring our Mentors, Learning for All
What is the new Canadian Voice Pedagogy Award?
The Canadian Voice Pedagogy Award is created to provide funding to Canadian voice teachers from coast to coast to coast to assist with attending exceptional learning opportunities at qualifying voice conferences, symposia, and workshops. It is administered by the Ontario Chapter, National Association of Teachers of Singing Chapter (NATS ONTARIO).
Teacher-Centred, Student-Focused
As our field broadens to meet the needs of singers in the 21st Century, the Award recognizes and promotes professional development for Canadian voice teachers in independent studios, voice programs, and music schools with a commitment to making learning and student-centred voice pedagogy more accessible to all.
Diverse and Inclusive
The Canadian Voice Pedagogy Award is for voice teachers of all backgrounds, interests, and experiences.
Support the Future Teachers of Singing
If your life has been touched by a voice teacher or mentor, consider donating in their honour. Your contributions will help pave the way for a bright future in voice education in Canada and beyond. Join us in celebrating excellence in Canadian Voice Pedagogy!
When will the first Canadian Voice Pedagogy Award be given?
We hope to present the first award in 2024, and the second just in time for the International Congress of Voice Teachers to be held in Toronto in 2025.
