What Vivace Families Are Saying
Hear from Vivace families:
“My daughter has always had a passion for music and singing. When we found the opportunity for her to join a chorus, we jumped on it! From the audition process, to the rehearsals, to the performances, Dr. Ingrid teaches and directs with such confidence and enthusiasm that is quite contagious. The routine and discipline was perfectly balanced with the fun and excitement. We are so proud of the hard work the children put into rehearsals and performances! Cannot wait for next season!”

“When my 5 year old daughter expressed interest in singing, I went to other parents to find out more information. Vivace was by far the most recommended option. Dr Lestrud does an amazing job with the kids. The environment is friendly yet focused, allowing the kids to learn without rigorous pressure. The lectures involve learning many songs that can also be in other languages. The kids also had the opportunity to partner with other choirs and the concerts spread throughout the year keeps the children engaged and excited. Honestly, we cannot be happier! This is a 6 stars worthy.”

“If you are looking for a creative outlet for your Kindergarten-6th grade singer, look no further than Vivace! Dr. Ingrid’s passion, professionalism, and discipline inspire her students through each rehearsal and performance. I have two daughters in the choir and my son is eagerly awaiting his chance to join as well once he is old enough. Dr. Ingrid’s song choices, connections in the music world, and unique performance opportunities get all her students excited and ready to learn new things. As a director, she has found the balance between pushing her students to do their best, while also recognizing when students need extra assistance. I cannot wait to see how this chorus will grow over time! We will certainly be a Vivace family for a long time. Thank you, Dr. Ingrid for all you do!”

“We've been sending our girls to this children's choir for two years now and are very satisfied with the quality of the experiences. The director is connected in the community which has opened up wonderful opportunities for them. Last year, Vivace Children's Chorus was invited to sing in front of ~1,000 people at one of the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra performances. This summer, Arlington Choral has invited Vivace singers to go on a multi-continent tour. Simply amazing!”

“It’s been a wonderful experience! My daughter has learned and her singing voice has grown so much since being part of Vivace. It’s been a wonderful community to be a part of and a very enriching experience. One of the highlights was seeing the kids perform with the Tunisian 88 international choir and getting to host them at our home! Thanks you Ingrid for sharing your knowledge and passion !”

“Our daughter has truly been enriched during her time in choir. She’s learned more musical skills, has a greater sense of teamwork and has had a boost in confidence. The concerts are an added plus to see how all the hard work comes together as they all sing beautifully.”
