*****UPDATE*****

Due to the current circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and with the health of our members and event attendees as our highest priority, the ANATS QLD committee has decided to move our event Toolbox Top-Up: Fly On The Wall to an entirely live-streamed event ONLY. 

At ANATS we feel it is important to still celebrate our teaching and provide an opportunity to for members of our community to connect, learn and cope with an ever-changing world in this time of isolation and uncertainty. We also see this event as an opportunity for participants to experience an online platform like Zoom and to ask questions about its use in online teaching. Please be assured that the presenters, students and facilitators in attendance at the event location will be observing best practice with regard to health and hygiene and that the numbers of those on location will be kept to a bare minimum.

***************

Come and snoop on demonstration lessons by some of Brisbane's best singing teachers. Get the low-down on what they're doing and why it works!

As singing teachers, we very rarely get to watch others teach. Toolbox Top-Up: Fly On The Wall is your chance observe a series of singing lessons by different teachers. Each teacher will discuss why they've chosen specific exercises - its purpose, the pedagogy and physiology behind it. It's a masterclass but with so much more detail! The focus is on you, the teacher.

Each teacher will showcase a student with different issues to be worked on (no already polished masterclass performances here!) so you can see how to approach different vocal problems including: alignment, breath flow and support, registration, resonance, tension, articulation, stylistic concerns... the list could go on! 

Toolbox Top-Up: Fly On The Wall is ANATS Queensland's first event of the year. We want you to come along and, quite frankly, steal all the ideas, exercises and tricks that you see! Start your year off with many more tools in your belt that you can try out on your students and help them get that next breakthrough!

***LIVE STREAMING NOW AVAILABLE FOR OUR REGIONAL MEMBERS***

If you live outside the Greater Brisbane area (QLD postcodes above 4200 and interstate participants), you are eligible to attend our event online via a live stream. 

HOW WILL THIS WORK?
First and foremost, you have to book a livestream ticket! Just select a "Live Stream" ticket.

You will be emailed a link to a Zoom meeting that you will be able to access on the day of the event. 

When the event is due to start, the Zoom meeting will start and you will be able to observe the demonstration lessons as if you were attending in person. You will also be able to use the chat function to submit questions for the Q&A later on in the afternoon.

WHAT IS ZOOM?
Zoom is an online video conferencing tool. It is very user-friendly and easy to set up. All you will need to do is click the link in the email you receive and, if you've never used Zoom before, download and install it.

This link (https://zoom.us/resources) has short instructional videos to help you get started. And this link (https://zoom.us/test) will allow you to test your set up and connection to make sure it's all working before the day.

DO I NEED ANY SPECIAL EQUIPMENT?
Nope! As long as you have a computer and a connection to the internet, once you've downloaded Zoom and clicked the link, you're good to go. Visit the test link above if you're worried that it might not work for you. 

Zoom recommends internet speeds of 1.5Mbps (up/down). To check your internet bandwith, google "internet speed test" and select "Run Speed Test".

WHAT IF MY LIVE STREAM DOESN'T WORK? 
We will send you contact details of a QLD committee member, who can help you troubleshoot if you are having issues on the day of the event. If something goes wrong or we just can't get it working, send us an email and we will organise a full or partial refund.

ARE YOU RECORDING THE EVENT? 
At this stage, ANATS QLD is not recording the events; however, we are investigating this possibility to provide greater access for our members. Stay tuned for future announcements!
