About Our Choir
Viva Singers Toronto provides ongoing vocal music education through theory classes and exam preparation, one-on-one vocal training, sight-singing, and an annual fall Performing Arts Camp. Children collaborate with Teaching Assistants and Vocal Coaches to explore their own creativity and ideation through songwriting and other forms of musical creation.
VIVA’s Choral Mentoring and Leadership Program provides young leaders and aspiring educators with vital opportunities to assist with and instruct singers of all ages and needs. This unique program is essential to VIVA’s structure, as from it are drawn Teaching Assistants, Conductors and Vocal Coaches to work with singers in most of our choirs.
Our History
VIVA was founded in 2000 by Carol Woodward Ratzlaff in response to widespread cuts to public school arts programs. As a long-time music educator, she believes that every person should have access to music education experience. With this in mind, VIVA committed to putting children at the forefront of our organization through the building blocks of leadership and mentoring, education, community, and inclusion.
