We are the Indiana Chapter of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS), a professional organization of voice teachers. Our members include private teachers as well as teachers in colleges and universities in Indiana, most of whom have advanced degrees in music. Our mission is to encourage the highest standards of the vocal art and of ethical principles in the teaching of singing; and to promote vocal education and research at all levels, both for the enrichment of the general public and for the professional advancement of the talented.

Each Fall Semester the chapter sponsors its annual Student Auditions. The Student Auditions are for voice students of all ages and all levels of vocal development. Each students sings for three judges (who are all voice teachers and members of NATS) and receives written comments. The first place winners in each category are presented in a Recital of Promise at the end of the auditions. Cash prizes are awarded to the top winners in each category. We also host the biennial State Auditions of the National Association of Teachers of Singing Artist Award Competition (NATSAA). The winner of the first round of this national competition goes on to represent the state at the Regional competition. The next NATSAA auditions will be in February 2010. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Indiana Chapter of NATS, you must first become a member of the national organization.
