Commonwealth University-Mansfield voice students win recognition at singing auditions, competition
MANSFIELD, PA (11/25/2024) — Voice students from Commonwealth University-Mansfield recently won recognition at the Allegheny Mountain Chapter (AMC) National Association of Teachers of Singing Student Auditions, held Nov. 16 at Penn State University. There were approximately 100 audition entries from around Pennsylvania.
The voice faculty at CU-Mansfield, Dr. Todd Ranney, Dr. Alissa Rose and Jordan Schreiner, entered students in the auditions, and all had student winners at the competitions. Students competed against others of a similar age and experience level and the top three winners in each category were featured in a final concert at the end of the auditions.
All students received comment sheets from the judges, who are voice teachers and NATS members. These auditions were a great opportunity for the students to get feedback about their singing, hear other students from around the area and be exposed to a wide variety of repertoire.
NATS is the largest association of teachers of singing in the world, with members in more than 25 countries, and the student auditions are one of the major activities of each NATS chapter.
