meeting Monday 9/23 at 4:30

Folks, we have some big decisions to make quickly, so please spread the word about Monday's meeting. We have a coach from Juilliard who can come in October, and need to pick our spring date for our spring clinician before her calendar fills up. I also have a fundraiser idea to run by you that I sent to Leah, Jake, and Courtney. Please announce in choir! Thanks.

Bake Sale April 12

Come support SNATS at UAB, and buy some baked goodies Friday, April 12. We'll be in front of the UAB Humanities Building all day. Spread the word!

UAB SNATS health breaks

I'll lead a Yoga class this coming Wednesday 10/24 at 4:30, and the following Monday, Callie's friend will be leading a Zumba class! Bring your mats and exercise wear: we'll meet in the dance studio. For yoga, anyone is welcome to come and meditate if you need some time to just...be. Sorry we can't do this Monday after all, due to opera. I promise to do more once opera is over!

Next SNATS meeting 10/17

Folks, with Fall Break and my recital travels coming up, our next meeting will be Wednesday, October 17 at 4:30. If you can look into sponsors for our T-shirts over break, that might give us a starting place for our meeting. I'll have something for our listening/viewing pleasure, but let's be sure to do some quick business too. As always, feel free to bring your lunch/dinner or let me know if you want to dip into SNATS savings for pizza. We certainly have $20 for that if you want! Spread the word.

Enjoy the fall weather...I sure am.

Alexander Technique events at UAB

We are fortunate to have James Brody, certified Alexander Teacher (and my personal AT guru) join us for three days of Alexander Technique events. We begin with a Convocation on Wednesday 9/19 from 12:20-1:10 in Hulsey Recital Hall. This presentation will introduce you to the Technique, and give you a better understanding of how your body can work for you or against you in your music-making (and in your life). On Thursday 9/20 from 3:30-6:30 in Hulsey 308, Jim will lead the opera workshop class and any other interested participants in how to rehearse more effectively. This workshop/master class promises to be both fun and informative. We conclude the week with a master class featuring UAB vocal students on Friday 9/21 from 12:20-1:10 in Hulsey Recital Hall. All events are free and open to the public. Jointly sponsored by SNATS at UAB (through USGA) and Jemison Funds.
