The "Institute for Vocal Advancement" (IVA) is a worldwide organization that offers excellent education and training for singers as well as for professional singing teachers.
IVA wurde von Stephanie und weiteren 5 verbündeten Master Teachern entwickelt und ins Leben gerufen. Mit über 100 Jahren an gemeinsamer Erfahrung im Training von Sängern und Gesangslehrern weltweit, haben sich die Gründungs- mitglieder von IVA verpflichtet, die besten Methoden für Gesangstraining zu studieren und geben dieses Wissen leidenschaftlich an andere weiter.
The IVA technique is based on 17th and 18th century singing principles developed by the ancient Italian singing school, and the combination of these principles with the latest findings in voice science and singing pedagogy.
Rather than revolving around a single person's philosophy, the IVA singing method was developed and refined as an outgrowth of our uncompromising search for accuracy and knowledge of working with the human voice.
Book a Lesson with Stephanie
Stephanie Borm teaches exclusively with the IVA method and focuses on the individual condition of the voice in individual lessons.
Our goal of the IVA method is to train voices to sing freely and naturally - fluently, from the lowest to the highest note of the vocal range, without breaks or sudden changes in vocal quality. Training with this method gives the singer access to all dynamics with tonal clarity and flexibility and helps improve vocal range, endurance, breath control, resonance, vocal power and vocal quality throughout all musical styles without fatigue or damage to the voice.
We achieve these results by training the singer to balance airflow and intrinsic muscular resistance. All this within a resting larynx position.
