Wednesday, June 8, 2011
2:00 p.m. Scott McCoy Lecture, Program Director and past president of NATS
"Establishing a Fact-Based Pedagogy" - Choir Room, Rm. 143
Singers might not need to know their cricoid cartilage from their patella, but
a teacher certainly should. Voicepedagogy built from a factual foundation
can lead to quicker, more precise diagnosis of vocal problems, while
providing insights into their effective cure. Creativity and invention are still
required!
7:30 p.m. David Small Lecture, master teacher
"From Studio to Stage to Studio: The Life and Times of an Artist-Teacher"
Phillips Recital Hall
A candid talk about my personal path from student to artist to artist-teacher,
or, 'Confessions of a Reluctant Pedagogue.'

"Repertoire from a Developmental Perspective" - Phillips Recital Hall
Literature for Teaching: Aligning Repertoire with Pedagogical goals.
Why not assign all of the 24 Italian Songs, "An die Musik," "Nacht und
Traume," "Chanson d'amour," "Automne," a couple Hoiby/Hundley songs
and then get on to the arias already? Why not assign the songs and arias
which you sang? We will be making a case for a more thoughtful approach
of assigning vocal literature and venturing beyond the "justly famous."
