A busy time for ANATS
At the time of writing,
- the Vivid Voices weekend is taking place in NSW with presenters Sonny Chua, Jean Callaghan & Diane Hughes.
- In a few weeks, Jazz Master teacher Connaitre Miller will be giving workshops/masterclasses in Victoria (May 23 – 25)
- On June 8 , WA Chapter is presenting “The Performer’s Club.”
- Queensland also presented a highly successful symposium in April with around 70 participants at Passaggio to Perfection at which Rowena Cowley, Peter Luff and Irene Bartlett presented.
It’s great to see how active our chapters are across the nation.
20th Anniversary conference

The conference is going to be a wonderful event, so please get in early for your registration and keep an eye on those cheap airfares!
Voice of ANATS Submissions
A reminder that submissions for the next edition of Voice of ANATS are due at the end of this month (May 30).

Perth Conference
Call For Papers
The PERTH 20th Anniversary ANATS Conference committee are now calling for submissions for papers. Visit the conference link for more information.
Book Your Flight Now
If you haven’t booked your flight, there are still some reasonable fares available from the East Coast.
Don’t forget to check the Virgin Blue website for their lunchtime specials between 12noon and 1pm (Thanks to Jenny Caire for this suggestion) and/or put the fees aside from one student every week (thanks to Curtis Bayliss for this thought).
Bursaries
You should have received an invitation to apply for a bursary to attend the Perth conference.
As determined by National Council last year, bursaries will cover the cost of registration for successful applicants. This allows members to know exactly how much National Council will provide to each successful applicant.
Key criteria in the selection process will be the contribution the applicant will make to ANATS and the benefit to the local singing teaching community.
A limited number of bursaries are on offer – so get your applications in now!
