SNATS meeting and yoga TODAY!

TODAY, we'll meet in the dance studio and do some yoga! We'll elect officers first, and Jim Brody can come in September so we'll need to make some decisions. Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to stretch, and a yoga mat or towel. If you're curious or nervous about doing yoga, just come and chill out and listen to my new age music and you'll find it's not so scary. Everything can be modified, and you can even just lie there and meditate if you want.

SNATS meeting today

First meeting is today at 4:30 in the conference room. We'll vote on officers , activities, etc. Spread the word! We have MONEY TO SPEND, so let's spend it!

Janet Hopkins

Hi folks,

As you scatter for Thanksgiving, remember that the day we return--Monday, November 28--is Janet Hopkins's master class from 3-5 pm. Your USGA dollars are at work: enjoy this wonderful class and ask any questions you may have of this wonderful woman. Also, she is available for lessons the following morning. Sign-up times are on my door.

Happy Turkey Day!

Janet Hopkins returns!

The master class with MET diva Janet Hopkins will take place Monday, November 28 from 3-5 pm. This is the day we return from Thanksgiving, and is a great opportunity to work on a jury piece. Please notify your teacher if you would like to sing for her.

Miss Hopkins is also available for private lessons at a reduced rate on Tuesday morning the 29th. You may sign up for half hour or hour slots. If the times are filled or don't work with your schedule, please email me and I'll see if she can work at additional times. She plans to arrive midday Monday.

Don't miss these events, open to all UAB students and sponsored by USGA.

Exercise for Singers

OK, y'all know how I worship my personal trainer. Now you get to meet the great Eric Agee in person, and he'll even put me through a few paces for your amusement. His presentation will focus on why exercise is important for singers, and what things to do (and avoid) to get yourself into shape. Be there: Monday, October 3 from 3-4 in the Choral Room. In the meantime, check the blog for Diction class times with Dr. Cho!
