Scroll to the bottom of this page to pay for your 2021 Regional Student Audition Registration

Every year The National Association of Teachers of Singing conducts online National Student Auditions. The first step for students wishing to qualify for these auditions is to place in the top-5 for their age Category in their Region. In order to facilitate this process, the New England Region holds online Student Auditions every year. All NATS Members in the New England Region are eligible to submit their students for this opportunity! Your students will receive Judges feedback on all of their video submissions - this is a great opportunity to discuss vocal growth with your students whether they make it to the National Round or not!

For 2021 the New England Regional Auditions will include the following NEW Categories. These Categories ARE NOT currently offered at the National Level - so any winners in these new categories will NOT progress to the National Online Student Auditions. HOWEVER - they will receive feedback from Regional Judges and will receive cash awards for 1st place finishers.
NEW in 2021:

• Juniors Musical Theater, Juniors Classical & Juniors Jazz & CCM (Contemporary Commercial Music). Age range for Juniors is 10 years old through 8th Grade. All Voice Types are included in this category.
• High School Jazz & CCM. All High School Student of all Voice Types are included in this category.
• College Jazz & CCM. All Undergraduate (or undergraduate age) Students of all Voice Types are included in this category
