The IVA Method
The IVA method makes singing as easy as speaking and is designed to help each student reach his or her full potential as a vocalist. Each lesson is specifically tailored to YOU and your needs and goals. Learn how to smoothly transition through your registers, access high notes with ease, and develop strength and confidence.
The IVA Method is based on 17th and 18th Century principles of singing developed by the Old Italian School of Singing, which trains voices to sing in a free and natural manner smoothly, from the bottom of the range to the top with no breaks or sudden changes in quality. By focusing on creating a well balanced mix voice, singers will be able to sing healthily and build a very strong foundation, which will help improve their range, endurance, stamina etc. across all styles of music without damaging their voice.

David is a Level One Certified Instructor of the Institute for Vocal Advancement, an international organization dedicated to the education and integrity of voice teachers around the world.
David liked to sing from when he was a child. He joined the choir at his junior high school in Hong Kong. David moved to California during his high school years and graduated from San Jose State University with a BFA degree in Digital Media.
During his college years he learnt to play guitar and lead worship singing at the church he attended. After taking voice lessons with IVA teacher Jaco Wong for around one and a half years, he started to develop an interest in vocal coaching. After graduating from college, David worked in the front-end web developer industry for several years and started to realize that he wanted to pursue a different career path. David entered the IVA student teacher program in November 2017, and studied with Master Teachers Kathy Kennedy, Jeffrey Skouson, and Guy Babusek. During the year, he taught students, hosted a singing workshop at the Arise Church of Fremont and obtained his IVA Level One Instructor Certificate in December 2018.
