NeuroVocal Method®

Training Terms & Conditions for Level 1:

Certificate of Completion

and Level 2:

Certified NeuroVocal Coach

 

Plain-English Summary (Please Read This First)

NeuroVocal Method® trainings are designed to support your work as a voice teacher or vocal coach with singers.

 

For all training levels:

You are warmly invited to:

• Use what you learn in your own one-on-one or group work with singers

• Integrate concepts into your personal teaching style

• Apply the material to your own learning and development

• Display your level of training on your marketing materials

​

You are not permitted to:

• Teach NeuroVocal Method® concepts, frameworks, or language in teacher trainings, certifications, courses, workshops, or online programs

• Repackage NeuroVocal Method® material and sell it to other teachers

• Share, distribute, or reproduce course materials (written, audio, video, or conceptual frameworks)

• Indicate a level of training you do not have (e.g., you’re a Certified Coach if you have completed Level 2 and are up-to-date with your ongoing certification training).

 

Credit is appreciated — but credit alone does not grant permission to teach or sell this work.

Teaching NeuroVocal Method® to other teachers requires formal certification or written permission.

​

If you currently teach (or plan to teach) courses for voice teachers and feel unsure about your ability to comply with these boundaries, this training may not be the right fit — and that’s okay. You’re welcome to contact us before registering to clarify whether participation makes sense for you, or to discuss becoming an NVM Licensed Instructor.

​

By registering for this training, you agree to the full Terms & Conditions below.

6. Respectful Industry Practice

NeuroVocal Method® is committed to ethical collaboration and professional respect within the voice community. These terms exist not to limit learning, but to protect the integrity of a distinct pedagogical framework developed over many years.
