Janet Pranschke, Founding Director, PDP

"I am really enjoying the Webinars. Thank you for this wonderful resource for teachers who live in more rural areas of the country."
Matthew Hoch - (Rome, Georgia)

"The information I gained from the courses really clarified my teaching. I had a lot of empirical knowledge, but now I know why and how things work. It just makes you a better teacher across the board because you can speak with authoritative knowledge. Besides, the classes are fun."
Adrienne Angel - Distinguished Voice Professional

Presented by NYSTA in Co-operation with Westminster Choir College.

 

NYSTA'S Professional Development Program is a unique series of live courses and online webinars designed for all those interested in singing. If you sing or work with singers professionally, you will gain new mastery and insights from this essential core curriculum. All courses are taught by leading experts and designed especially for practicing professionals. Each course is completed with an exam, and registrants successful in completing all five courses (which includes passing the exams) are awarded NYSTA's Distinguished Voice Professional Certificate of Completion.
