Celebrating 75 years as the largest association of teachers of singing in the world, the National Association of Teachers of Singing, Inc. (NATS) was founded in 1944 and is comprised of more than 7,000 members in the United States, Canada, and over twenty-five other countries, offering learning experiences to its members with workshops, intern programs, master classes, and conferences. Students of NATS members have the opportunity, along with members, to compete at a national level through the National Association of Teachers of Singing Artist Awards (NATSAA), National Student Auditions, and the National Music Theater Competition. NATS supports the growth and enrichment of its members with the publication of Journal of Singing, a scholarly journal comprised of articles on singing and the teaching of singing written by distinguished experts.
