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.
