5 NATS Member Sponsoring Students Those registering students for auditions must be members in good standing at the national level of NATS at the time of registration as well as all rounds of the event. In addition, Chapter level events require chapter membership in good standing at the time of registration as well as all rounds of the event. Contact Membership Chair Kay Joham at to pay your dues if necessary. Members shall serve as adjudicators and/or act in other capacities as requested. Members who are unable to attend the Student Auditions to serve as adjudicators may not register their students for the auditions unless they find a substitute adjudicator. The substitute adjudicator must be a NATS member in good standing who is not already sending students to the auditions. The substitution must be communicated to the Student Auditions Chair (Sarah Maines or Beverly Park) PRIOR to the registration deadline. If a student has been studying with a sponsoring teacher fewer than eight (8) months, acknowledgment must be made of the former teacher both on the application and in any public announcements. Members will disclose at NATS events the name of a student's previous voice teacher if the student has studied with the current teacher fewer than eight months. Members shall complete and submit required application forms in a timely manner. Members shall ensure that all requirements are met. Members shall ensure that students and collaborative pianists adhere to the NATS Copyright Policy on page 7 of this document and located at Members may not accompany their own students at any stage of the event including awards concerts, etc. Adjudicators NATS members who register students to audition are expected to serve as adjudicators as necessary to run successful auditions. Please see instructions in the preceding section if you are unable to attend the Student Auditions. Adjudicators will be expected to review NATS Adjudicator training materials and be familiar with adjudication rubrics. (see p. 17) Adjudicators will hear the performance, write comments, and score each singer. During the auditions there must be no consultation, spoken or written, between adjudicators concerning the evaluation or 5
6 performance of students. Adjudicators are not required to assign a high rating if, in their opinion, no student has earned it. No adjudicator will be asked to change a student s score or ranking. While it is expected that all panels are made of NATS members, occasions may exist where non-nats member industry professionals serve as adjudicators. Schedule Changes & Cancellations Schedule changes CANNOT be considered after times have been assigned. Please realize that any changes would adversely affect other students and collaborative pianists. Please inform the Student Auditions Co-Chairs of any cancellations as soon as possible. Please inform the registration table on the day of the auditions about last minute illnesses or emergencies. Collaborative Pianists All students must engage their own collaborative pianists. There will be no NATS collaborative pianist provided for the auditions. A staff collaborative pianist will be available for the Honors Recital, in the event that yours is not available. A sign-up sheet for rehearsal times with the Honors Recital collaborative pianist will be posted at the registration table. Teachers are not allowed to accompany their own students for the auditions. Collaborative pianists are limited to 15 singers per day of auditions. In the registration system, once 15 students have been submitted with a specific accompanist, all other students will be unable to register with that pianist. Please let your pianists know that keeping track of numbers is essential. So they are able to concentrate fully on providing the best support and partnership for singing artists in the auditions, collaborative pianists SHOULD NOT be required to serve as the arbiter of correct adherence to the NATS Copyright Policy. Rather, it is the singer s and teacher s responsibility to provide all necessary documentation for legally obtained sheet music. Singers will present their music to the registration desk staff for copyright approval and must receive an approved copyright stamp on their adjudication sheets before they may proceed to their audition. 6
7 NATS Policy on Copyright Laws The National Association of Teachers of Singing endorses a strict policy regarding copyright laws. The use of photocopied music is prohibited at all NATS sponsored events, from the national to the chapter level. Exceptions are: 1. Music that is out of print, still under copyright law, with permission from a publisher. 2. Sheet music or books for which the copyright has expired, but available in CD format. (e.g., CD Sheet Music). Performers must be prepared to present proof of ownership upon request. 3. Sheet music purchased legally from an online vendor. Such music should have either a separate page proving the performer has purchased such or a copyright notice at the bottom of the music that includes the performer's name. Performers must be prepared to present proof of ownership upon request. 4. Music available from approved public domain websites. Performers should take particular care when accessing these sites as some do not guarantee that all works are indeed in the public domain. Current approved online public domain sites are: NATS Auditions Rating/Scoring System All Student Auditions and National Student Auditions must use the same scoring system, enabling scoring data comparisons across all NATS Regions. Scoring is based on a national standard. Singers in all classifications will sing one song of their choice and then songs selected by the adjudicators within the time limits. Adjudicators will write constructive comments and a score between 70 and 100 on their scoring sheets. The singer with the highest average score wins their category. Scoring System The scoring system is developed to allow for objective as well as subjective measures of a singer s performance. Further, it is structured to provide more detailed guidance to adjudicators as they seek to provide appropriate and constructive 7
8 feedback to singers. All auditions should use the official NATS Student Auditions Adjudication Form on page 18 and available under Forms on Adjudicators shall: 1. Provide scoring for each singer in comparison to a standard developed specifically for these auditions. Judging relative to a common standard (see adjudication rubric) will provide a better overall result than comparing singers in a given category to one another when scoring. 2. Place an X in the following areas on the adjudication sheet to indicate a general level of accomplishment. Note that while a specific numerical score is not listed in each area, the Low to High range is divided into three sections corresponding with the overall scoring range. Note that the Ensemble marking should not factor into the final scoring due to the fact that some singers may be using a staff accompanist with whom they have had little rehearsal. 3. Provide constructive comments on the performance that correspond with the ratings provided in #2. The adjudication rubrics for classical and music theater provide guidance to the adjudicator in constructing comments in agreement with their ratings. 8
9 4. Assign a final overall score between that generally corresponds to a compilation of markings given in #2. For example, if all the markings are in the highest 1/3 of the line a score in the range is appropriate. Adjudicating Standard The national standard is stated in the first column of the adjudication rubric. (See p. 16) The language describes the qualities an ideal singer will have. As adjudicators hear singers they should compare the singer s performance against the general standard for the category they are adjudicating. One way this could be addressed would be to add the clause...for a xxx category singer to each standard. Registration Instructions Registration opens on on Sept. 1 and closes on Oct. 16.

12 AUDITIONING: Students will check-in and give their forms to the room monitor, who gives them to the judges. When it is time for the student to sing, the singer will announce his/her assigned number (not name) and opening selection (song title, work, composer or creative team). For example: I am singer B13, and I will begin with I Could Have Danced All Night by from My Fair Lady by Lerner and Loewe. This allows the singer to experience common practice for auditions. Adjudicators will choose the following selections. The monitor will start the stopwatch when the singer begins singing. If the singer s selections are longer than the allotted time limit, the monitor will call time. The singer should stop singing, state thank you and exit the room. The cut-off does not count against the singer and should not affect the judges comments or scoring in any way. GUESTS: The auditions are open.
