The Atlantic Contemporary Vocal Institute’s Summer Training Program has quickly become known as the essential training program for amateur, pre-professional and professional singers of contemporary styles in Eastern Canada.

Featuring top vocal coaches in the region and an incredible line up of guest clinicians, this intensive offers singers the time, space and attention needed to hone their skills in a safe, supportive environment. ACVI leaves singers feeling enriched with performance insights and a deeper connection to their artistry.

Who is the Summer Training Program for?

The ACVI Summer Training Program is designed for amateur, pre-professional and professional singers. Singers have time to sing together as full group as well as work in smaller groups geared towards their specific experience and training level. The program has three levels - each designed for the needs of singers at every stage.

At ACVI, we believe in fostering an inclusive, supportive environment. There is a seat for everyone at our table!

“The ACVI Summer Training Program was a beautiful, safe space. Informative, welcoming, well organized and thought out. It was great as a professional singer to be reminded and re-opened to techniques and methods, and for newer singers to have so much to take in and practice in a warm and supportive space.”

“The Summer Training Program is a versatile, sensitive collection of teaching and workshops. Great for singers of any walks of life. If you haven’t done it, do it.”
