Congratulations - and thanks for 3 great years!

With enthusiasm and hard work these 36 singers have completed three years of vocal technique and pedagogics, and individually hunted down 'holes' in their own technique and teaching. They are today among the best singing teachers in the world with the ability to train and demonstrate all sounds the human voice can make. They all have their individual area of specialisation in style etc, and with a large network of fellow CVT and CVI teachers they form an extremely versatile group.

These great singers and wonderful people has been part of CVI since we opened in August 2005. Friendships has developed in the group and between the group and CVI staff. Even though we will see each other again at different occasions the regular visits here at CVI will be deeply missed. Thanks for three great years!

We need
test singers 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!

Vi mangler kaniner 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!
