American Academy of
Teachers of Singing
The American Academy of Teachers of Singing was founded in 1922 by a group of fifteen professional teachers of voice. In the formation of the organization, the founders were motivated by a desire to contribute to the improvement of the voice teaching profession, from both a pedagogical and an ethical standpoint. Mary is currently serving as the AATS chair.
NATS-NYC Mentor Teacher Program
The purpose of the NYC-NATS Mentorship Program is to offer young apprentice teachers an opportunity to observe master teachers teaching specific styles of material to develop advanced teaching skills. Experienced teachers may also enroll as a chance to broaden their teaching experience and receive feedback.
