NATS, the National Association of Teachers of Singing, is the largest professional association of teachers of singing in the world with more than 7,000 members in the US. 

​

The three-tiered NATS Student Auditions begin at the Region level, top 5 singers from each region category advance to the national preliminary round. 14 singers from each of the categories during the National Preliminary advance to the national semifinal round.  From there, the top 3 singers from each category compete live in the national final round in Chicago in July 2022

​

I was the first-place winner from the Texoma Region.  I was so excited to be able to compete live in Chicago this summer. I met so many talented singers from different states. I was so lucky that I passed the semi-final audition and got a chance to compete live on the stage. I was the national second-place winner of the Lower High School Classical Treble Voice and was awarded a scholarship. It was an amazing experience in my life.

I was in the Massachusetts location competing with a few very talented junior/senior high school students who were two or three years older than me. I was one of the finalists and won the Most Promising Sophomore Award and a scholarship. It was a great experience for me and I made new friends and learned a lot from the masterclass and a few graduate students who studied at the Boston Conservatory.

American Protege International Music Competitions are designed for young musicians and singers on the path to a successful career. 

​

I have participated in the American Protege Singing competitions since I was ten. I won several competitions and performed in the Cargnial Wail Hall many times. The most wonderful, but also stunning experience is to sing at the super huge famous Issac Stern auditorium when I was just twelve years old. I sang my favorite Italian aria "O Mio Bibbino Caro" in the 2500-seat auditorium. It was such a great memorable experience in my whole life.
