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.

World Class Vocal Education & Supportive Community I joined IVA as a brand new teacher without any experience, and during the last decade as a teacher with IVA, I have not only grown as a teacher but as a person, too. My social and colleague circles have widened right across the world and I love the supportive nature of the community. If you want top class vocal education AND a network of teachers, colleagues and friends you can rely on, IVA is for you!

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.
