It’s important to NATS members that recent previous teachers be acknowledged. Previous teachers should be listed if the student last studied with them within the last eight months. Students who have not studied with their current teacher for eight months may only participate if they give credit to both teachers by listing them both on the registration forms and, if applicable, in the introductions at the conclusion of the Final Round. If you have studied in the past eight months with a second teacher who is not a member of NATS, or you’re not sure if they are a member, list and count them as if they are a member.
