Flute Intensive Masterclass

Take Musical Risks and Grow In An Empowering Learning Environment. Discover Your Own Definition Of Success.

This program will focus not only on the art of flute playing, but also on developing the qualities of a well-rounded artist. In addition to daily lessons and masterclasses, Lara will share her experiences working with an Olympic mental coach and lead discussions about the importance of mental skills training as well as strategies for successful freelancing, amongst other topics.
Participants will be encouraged to step out of their musical comfort zones and to find new ways to connect with audiences, as well as to perform for the Italian public, if desired. This retreat will provide the perfect opportunity to reflect, set goals, and discover what success as an artist means to you.

The Flute Intensive Masterclass is taking a break in 2024, and will be back in the summer of 2025!

ENCOURAGED TO GROW AS AN ARTIST

One-on-one and Personalized Training.

Making music at the convent in the Italian Alps, surrounded by the Italian language, inspires each artist to push themselves beyond what they think they are capable of and, with the guidance of their coaches, the artists grow tremendously in this short period of time. On top of their training, the students will receive regular Italian language class, body awareness group classes and the chance to take in the sights of Verona and an opera at the ancient amphitheatre.

AUDITION REQUIREMENTS: PREPARE 2 CONTRASTING PIECES
At BIIMA, we understand how stressful auditions can be.  We aim to offer a friendly atmosphere in our auditions where the focus is your artistic growth, rather than impressing a panel.  Once the student has performed their piece(s), the coach listening will lead an interactive working session, where both parties will collaborate to take the piece to a higher level.  The student will be asked about their performance experience and to reflect on the audition itself.  Our hope is for students to leave the audition feeling that they were able to perform to the best of their abilities.
