Student wins award at regional voice competition

MANSFIELD — Phillip Peters of Clearfield was among voice students from Commonwealth University-Mansfield who recently won recognition at the Allegheny Mountain Chapter National Association of Teachers of Singing Student Auditions, held in November at Gettysburg College.

The auditions included around 120 entries from around Pennsylvania.

Students competed against peers of a similar age and experience level. The top three winners in each category were featured in a final concert at the end of the auditions and additional students were recognized as semi-finalists.

Students received com-ment sheets from the judges, who are voice teachers and NATS members. These auditions provide an opportunity for the students to receive feedback on their singing, hear other students from the region 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.
