IVA, supporting you every step of the way. I had wanted to find an organisation to help me transition from a 'performance singing teacher' to a professional authentic 'singing teacher'. The IVA support you every step of the way with an excellent teacher training program. As a Certified IVA Instructor, I can now teach my students to sing in a way that they never thought possible, accessing their ranges in a more healthy balanced way. The IVA Team are there to help you 100% on your teacher training journey. I'm so pleased I found the IVA, I now have full trust in how I teach my singing students.

A great resource for new and expanding vocal coaches IVA is a fantastic resource for vocal teachers and performance coaches. The master teachers and mentors are excellent coaches and there are significant online educational materials that lay out the pedagogy structure. Personally I like their goal to be agnostic and cause and effect in their approach to vocal technique, that I can bring any other tools I wish to my teaching practice without fearing that I'm not 'in line' with the teaching organization. As long as I use the touchstone tools that are helpful, and adhere to the principles of doing no harm, and cause and effect in the voice, I'm in good standing and have a wealth of tools available to me. The comradery and networking between teachers may even be my favorite part of being a teacher in this organization.

A Life Changing Decision As a Level III Instructor in IVA, joining the program has changed my life ever since. Not only that I receive the education of the world's best, but also a community of great teachers from all over the world. Being in such a group of professionals makes you feel supported in your career wherever you are in the world, and the benefits continue to grow.

IVA is a truly unique and amazing… IVA is a truly unique and amazing certification program for voice teachers and I am so grateful to have found them. I have been learning and teaching the IVA method for coming on 7 years and see incredible results in the voices of my students. I have also seen two of my students go on and become IVA teachers themselves, which has been deeply rewarding for me.

A beautiful community of wonderful singing teacher's - so grateful to be part of it! I have been part of the Institute for Vocal Advancement (IVA) community for years, and I feel like there's no other community like it. I love that we have opportunities to learn so much - there's something going on for us to be part of at least weekly, and it is always valuable information. I wouldn't be the effective teacher I am today without the experience I have gained by being part of the IVA community. To top it off, everyone is so kind and inclusive, I am convinced there isn't a better group of people like this anywhere else. Another thing I appreciate is their commitment to always do and be better, and to remain current and help us teacher's along the way.
