Welcome to the American Academy of Teachers of Singing (AATS)
Who Are We?
We are a select group of nationally recognized teachers of singing who work together as one body to offer professional advice and guidance to those who teach singing or perform as singers. We were founded in 1922. We are limited by charter to forty active members and membership is by invitation only. We do not operate a school.
What Do We Do?
We act as a consulting body to the profession on various topics of significance and interest. We do this primarily through publications that address a wide range of subjects related to the vocal arts. Through these publications, we seek to offer the wisdom of our many combined years of expertise to those who would benefit from it. We, therefore, write all papers in unison and publish with one voice. The papers are presented live by our members at national music and vocal conferences and are also offered through this web site at no charge. Please see our publication page for a list of titles.
Where Are We?
The Academy operates out of New York City but has members nationwide. We are 40 individuals, elected by internal invitation only. Many of our members are faculty at prestigious universities, conservatories, or symposia and esteemed performers of classical and non-classical repertoire. Several members are noted authors and a few are also voice science researchers. Please consult our members page for more information about each individual member.
