Music education at Vivace Youth Chorus is guided by the principles of the Kodály Method, which was developed in Hungary during the mid-twentieth century and named after Hungarian composer and educator Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967).

Vivace Youth Chorus was founded in 2003 by Artistic Director Peggy Spool.
