The Student Nats Chapter of Waterloo Region had a very successful first year of events. Our keen board worked very hard to ensure that the word got out to all singers in the Wilfrid Laurier University School of Music, and hopes to expand that member base to London and Toronto, among other post-secondary vocal programs.
Our major goal was to create informed and open dialogue about vocal pedagogy and teaching, through workshops and symposiums. The following were some of the events hosted by our chapter in 2008-2009;
The Happy Prince - An Opera by Malcolm Williamson
*Performed in co-production with The Children's Museum (Kitchener, Ontario), March 2010
Presentation by SLP Glen Nowell

Pilates workshop by massage therapist and musician Sara-Lynn Weiler
*Focus on body mapping and anatomy
*Hosted at the Guidonian Therapy Clinic

*Based on various articles in the Journal Of Singing
Joint Master Class with The Singer's Theatre Voice Studio
*Snats members had the opportunity to coach young singers and view Nats members coaching them as well
The Singer's Theatre is an amateur theatre company in Kitchener-Waterloo with the aim of creating musical theatre performance opportunities for amateur/aspiring singers. We value safe and healthy singing, and all of our workshops are designed with an element of vocal technique training for the musical theatre performer. All of our teachers and directors are experienced in the field of musical theatre and are committed to the high quality standards of The Singer's Theatre. We also offer dance classes for the singer/actor with little dance experience, looking to improve their auditioning skills. Workshops include the Junior Ensemble, The Intensive Musical Theatre Workshop, Audition Master Classes and Dance and Sing Classes for all ages.
