The twenty-first century singing teacher is faced with a complex world of voice pedagogy that is being augmented by a rapidly evolving body of science- and pedagogy-informed knowledge. Those who paved the way for voice teachers in the past could not have imagined the daunting amount of information with which the modern teacher is expected to be familiar. As part of our mission in service to the singing community, the American Academy of Teachers of Singing affirms the necessity of being lifelong learners. To support that goal, AATS also strives to help colleagues stay abreast of emerging knowledge and to become aware of reliable sources of access to that knowledge currently available to both teachers and singers. One such area of significant progress requiring attention is the field of voice medicine, and in particular, the singing voice specialist.
