May NATS Chat - From Stage to Studio: Bridging the Gap in Voice Pedagogy
May 3, 2026, 7:00 - 8:00 PM
From Stage to Studio: Bridging the Gap in Voice Pedagogy
Featuring Allen Henderson, Michaela Martens, Cyndia Sieden, Peggy Baroody, Randall Scarlata
Host: Kari Ragan
Many celebrated performers after careers at the MET or on international stages transition into teaching. Yet, some resist adopting science-informed approaches that are becoming more central in modern pedagogy. This NATS Chat brings together a panel of distinguished voice teachers, many with major performance careers of their own, to discuss why this disconnect exists and how we can bridge it. How can we foster mutual respect between artist-teachers and pedagogy-focused educators? How do we create common ground between experiential and evidence-based teaching traditions — ultimately for the benefit of our students?
The 2025/26 NATS Chat season is sponsored by Inside View Press.
