“I believe in freedom of the voice and of using the voice as a tool for expressing our deepest needs and desires. After 40 years of touring globally as a professional singer and violinist, I am realizing my dream to open a vocal school and make teaching the focus of my work. My goal is to create a school that welcomes and inspires people of different backgrounds, abilities and ages through music.”

Iva Bittova, Founder

Zingora
school of voice

As the school grows it would be bring me great joy to invite musicians.

I have met from around the world to share their expertise as guest teachers.

In addition, my teaching will emphasise free expression, improvisation, and connection with nature.

Our Philosophy

I believe in the freedom of the voice, and of using the voice as a tool for expressing our deepest needs and desires.

I have worked with children and adults, professional singers and people who have never sung before.

It would be my goal to create a school that welcomes people from all different backgrounds.

Inspiration

In the woods, we will be in direct relationship with nature, listening and responding to birds, trees, wind, and rain.

As a musician working in folk traditions, living in harmony with and paying close attention to the sights and sounds of the woods has always been a crucial component to my personal and inspiration.

Happy Students

“A powerful, emotional and insightful journey”.

- Talya B.

This workshop allowed me to let go of control and allow space for pure creativity that is within me to come out. The combination of improvisation and nature welcomes the space for the purest form of creativity.

- Chloe P.

“This experience of safe vulnerability, connection, and deep listening was a paradigm shift for me as both a creative person and a teacher. Learning through guided exploration, rather than directive, explicit, instruction, is a powerful reminder to trust my own, as well as my students’, innate ability to access skills, insights and creative solutions. Thank you for this unique opportunity, your masterful facilitation, your beautiful music and open hearts.”

– Carri A., M.S., CCC-SLP

The weekend with you was very special for me, too. When time allows, I will elucidate.

As for a statement, I think you liked something I said after our command performance along the lines of “This is the way growing up should have been.” Perhaps you wrote it down at the time? Maybe more on that Bunches of thanks and hugs to both of you for creating an amazing experience. I am still resonating Žingora.
