- The training and coaching that SVI provides was some of the most valuable time I ever spent in my pre-college training. Not only did I make incredible friends who I still keep in touch with, SVI helped me create great professional connections. I was able to be focused on my performing and objective without losing the joy and fun in performing.
- The weeks I spent at Hartt's Summer Vocal Institute made a lasting
impression on me, expanding and enriching the musical skills I'd
amassed by that point, and more importantly, putting these skills into
practical use in performance. The lessons, coachings, master-classes,
rehearsals and ensemble experiences of SVI are singular, I know of no
other American program that offers programming of such a high level to
singers in this age group. The Summer Vocal Institute is where young
voice students go to become singers, and where young singers become
performers.
- The Summer vocal institute is the best college preparation program available for young singer and actors. The program enriched and perfected my developing voice, giving me a distinct edge on other college performers. The rigorous training is essential to anyone pursuing a career in theater. Through this program, we were privileged to meet and work with a faculty comprised of active musicians, coaches, Broadway performers and directors. Not only did SVI offer me superior training, it introduced me to a network of professional performers, coaches, and colleagues who are still in touch several years later. Most importantly, SVI provided me with the training, focus, and fundamentals that I have used to build my career as an active New York City musician.
