Lincoln, Neb.-Jamie Reimer, a first-year Doctor of Musical Arts graduate student in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln School of Music who studies under Professor Donna Harler-Smith, is one of 12 students selected from the United States and Canada for the prestigious 2006 National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) Intern Program. Recent alumnus Anthony Price Radford, who received his D.M.A. from UNL in December 2005, was also selected as a NATS Intern this summer, representing Canada.

The NATS Intern Program pairs experienced and recognized master teachers of voice with talented young members of NATS to improve substantially the studio teaching skills of these promising young teachers. '''

"Jamie is the third of my students to have been selected for the NATS Internship Program, and I am very proud of this, " Harler-Smith said. '''''

The program will take place this summer at the NATS Conference, June 13-23, at the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory of Music. Reimer will be paired with master teacher Stephanie Samaras, a private studio teacher from New York City. '

"This was the second year I applied, so I was really thrilled to be selected, " Reimer said. "I have heard wonderful things about the program, and I know and respect the work of several teachers who attended as interns in previous years. It is quite an honor to be counted among them. " '''''''

Reimer plans to pursue a tenure-track position on the voice faculty at a respected post-secondary institution following the completion of her D.M.A. at UNL. '''

"This experience will allow me to hone my teaching skills under the guidance of some of the best teachers in the United States, as well as develop professional relationships that will be helpful as my career progresses. "
