The Institute of Voice (IOV) was founded by internationally renowned soprano Katrina Krumpane, who gained recognition as an opera singer and performer before being invited to serve as a professor at universities around the world. Trained in classical music in Germany, Katrina later moved to the United States, where she noticed that vocal lessons require a unique approach compared to other instruments. Driven by her passion for uncovering the hidden talents in each individual, she envisioned a space where students develop their voices with confidence and compassion. What began as a dream has now become a reality, with the Institute of Voice’s first studio proudly established in Silicon Valley.
