National Association of Teachers of Singing
San Francisco Bay Area Chapter
Our Mission
We are dedicated to encouraging the highest standards of singing in all
musical styles. Through our workshops, student competitions, and
continuing education programs, we create opportunities for teachers and
students to collaboratively engage in excellent teaching and singing. We
believe a cooperative exchange of knowledge and skill enhances our
understanding of the art and craft of singing.
Edwin Barlow Scholarship and Emerging Artist Award
The Barlow Scholarship was established in 1995 as a tribute to
Edwin Barlow, a local teacher, performer and NATS member who died in
1994. At the Singing Festival Winners’ Concert, participating students
will be evaluated by SFBAC Member Teachers to identify winners of the
Barlow Award.
Eleanor Cohen Fund
The Eleanor Cohen award was established last year in honor of
Eleanor Cohen. The award is given specifically to a deserving vocalist
who began studying voice on or after the age of 35. At the Singing
Festival Winners’ Concert, participating students will be evaluated by
SFBAC Member Teachers to identify winners of the Barlow Award.
