3-year Singer/Teacher Diploma Course

We are now opening for applications to new 3-year courses. If you are, or are planning to be, working as a singing teacher on the highest level, this is the course for you. The number of different sounds and styles singers expect teachers to master is growing day by day, and so is the demand for singing teachers who masters Complete Vocal Technique. CVT is at the forefront as the most up-to-date, efficient, practical and useful set of tools available, and still developing with increased focus on scientific research and 4 new language versions of the book in preparation. An authorized CVT teacher has to be able to teach, as well as demonstrate, all sounds the human voice can make, and to become one requires hard work.

Follow the 3-year course and experience:
• a big development in your own singing
• the ability to work with ALL sounds the human voice can make
• the ability to demonstrate ALL sounds the human voice can make
• the ability to repair up to 90% of apparently hoarse voices in a single session (emergency aid)
• that teaching gets much less straining, as the special CVT pedagogy puts the responsibility on the student with well laid out step by step guides for almost every request
• to be part of an international network of more than 100 highly skilled singers and teachers from various countries and with all kinds of musical backgrounds, who all use the same terminology and therefore efficiently can exchange tips, tricks and students...

Test singer at CVI

A free taste of Complete Vocal Technique. If you would like to try out the possibilities CVT has to offer for free, this is your opportunity! The attendants at our international 3-year Singer/ Teacher Diploma course are using test singers as part of their training. All attendants at the 3-year course are professional and at the highest level.

As a test singer at CVI you will receive 20-30 minutes free training. Or at selected days a full master class with fellow singers and teachers. Do you have specific challenge to work with, or do you just want to try something new? In either case a session as CVI test singer is evident.

The more you are aware what you want to work on, the better result you will get from your session. It is not required that you know anything about Complete Vocal Technique to become a CVI test singer, but should you be interested in studying we recommend book&CD 'Complete Vocal Technique'.

The age limit for attending as a CVI test singer is 18 years of age.

We need test singers regularly. Sign up now, and pass this information to your singing friends also.
Contact us at email cvi@shout.dk or phone +45 3332 7724 for more information. We are looking forward to hear from you!

Kanin på CVI

En gratis smagsprøve på Komplet Sangteknik. Hvis du kunne tænke dig at få en gratis prøve på de muligheder Komplet Sangteknik har at byde på, så er chancen her nu! Deltagerne på vores internationale 3-årige Sanger/Underviser Diplomuddannelse skal nemlig bruge sangkaniner som led i deres uddannelse. Alle på uddannelsen er professionelle og befinder sig på højeste niveau.

Som sangkanin ved CVI får du 20-30 minutters gratis undervisning. Du kan få undervisning i lige præcis det, du ønsker. Har du en bestemt sangteknisk udfordring, eller kunne du bare tænke dig at prøve noget nyt? En session som sangkanin hos CVI er oplagt.

Jo mere du som kanin har gjort dig bevidst om, hvad du ønsker at arbejde på, desto længere kan du nå på de 20-30 minutter. Der er ikke noget krav om forhåndskendskab til teknikkerne, men skulle du være interesseret, kan vi anbefale bog & cd Komplet Sangteknik.

Aldersgrænsen for deltagelse er minimum 18 år. Vi skal bruge sangkaniner løbende. Lad gerne dine sanginteresserede venner/ bekendte vide besked om denne mulighed også.
Kontakt os på cvi@shout.dk eller +45 3332 7724 for mere information. Vi glæder os til at høre fra dig!

2007 was indeed a great year at Complete Vocal Institute! It was in a way the most busy year so far, but CVI has grown up and teachers and administrative staff were well prepared to meet any challenge.

The number of great, musical, touching, hilarious, and inspiring occasions worth of remembering are much to many to mention in a single newsletter - or in a whole book for that matter. However working at CVI is fantastic, and the feedback we get from singers makes us very proud. One of the reactions we meet very often is, that people find the atmosphere at the CVI courses extremely positive. There is a certain smooth non-transgressive way that every teacher and singer supports and helps fellow singers, and the result is: No bad competition mentality! CVI offers warm and safe environment for any singer to experience and progress, while at the same time benefit from being in a group of inspiring singers.

Thanks to all singers we had the huge pleasure of meeting at presentations and master classes in Bratislava, Bruxelles, Geneve, Gent, Groningen, Göteborg, Jakobstad, Joensuu, Jyväskylä, Hamburg, Hannover, Helsinki, Karlstad, København, London, Oskarshamn, Oslo, Oulu, Prag, Reykjavik, Stavanger, Stockholm, Tilburg, Tornio, Trondheim, Utrecht, Warszawa, Örebro, Östersund, Warszawa and Ålesund. We are looking forward to many happy returns!
