Finding IVA was the greatest discovery of my teaching career. As a professional singer and actor for many years, I knew I wanted to begin teaching, but I had no idea where to start. IVA has given me the tools and structure I've needed to go from ground zero to a full-fledged teaching studio. I am now confident in my teaching, and not only do I see and hear tremendous growth in my students, but I have also experienced that growth in my own voice. It’s a wonderful network of teachers, and I am grateful to be a part of IVA.
IVA has been a total life-changer for me. I have grown so much more than I could have ever imagined as a singer, teacher, and leader through this program, even though I already have a music degree. My career is going places I never imagined, and I attribute that to the quality of this amazing program. The intensive training, support, and friendships with other like-minded teachers are invaluable to me.
I can say honestly that IVA has changed my entire life and voice. As a voice teacher, IVA provides me many tools to solve the vocal challenges of my students. At the same time, my own voice has been developed through IVA’s educational requirements. I can easily demonstrate and show my students what I want from their own voices, which is a great tool when you are teaching! Thanks, IVA!
My education through IVA has given me the skills to build a successful private studio in New York City, a dream I am grateful every day to have realized. I started my teacher training at age 17 with just the idea that one day I might like to teach voice lessons while supporting myself as an actor. To my surprise, teaching has become my passion, and my ongoing education with IVA has made it possible.
Hi! I'm Katja from Munich, Germany, and I can honestly say that IVA has changed my life in so many ways. At IVA, I've become the best teacher I can be! I'm constantly learning, meeting new friends from around the world, and I feel so much freedom and serenity while I teach. My students and I just love IVA.
It's the best training program for voice teachers by far! I highly highly recommend it. I've been with IVA from it's inception and am one of their mentor instructors! Been through over 10 years of certification and training with them and I give them 1 million percent of the credit of my success and confidence in teaching. It's given me everything as a teacher- The tools, the confidence, the skillset... it's an incredible program and network of absolutely BRILLIANT teachers and educators. If you are wanting to invest in any program for voice teaching, IVA is it!
