Programs

"BIIMA has very qualified teachers who are kind but demanding. They are clear about what they want and expect from us and they organized a lot of varied performance opportunities for us.

Robyn P.Vocal Intensive

BIIMA met my expectations by providing wonderful coaching sessions with amazing experienced singers and collaborative pianists. BIIMA (and specifically Breno) was a great location for the summer program as I felt very immersed in the Italian culture but not overwhelmed because Breno is such a small town. I was very happy that we had classes such as the Italian language with Paolo as she was very knowledgeable of the Italian language, (it being her first) and it really helped me improve my singing and Italian language overall.

Jessica E.Vocal Intensive

The daily masterclasses were so helpful even if I wasn't the one performing. The energy and enthusiasm brought each day is contagious and so inspiring.

Julia J.Vocal Masterclass

I love the environment of love and mutual respect the teachers create. I found a place where I can learn and grow in a respectful and safe environment.

About Our Programs

Voice Intensive Masterclass

Individualized Training. Inspired Artistry. Making music in the Italian Alps allows singers to immerse themselves fully in their voices and artistry. Through personalized coaching, daily training, and a supportive, collaborative setting, each singer deepens their technique, explores their individual strengths, and grows in confidence. Surrounded by the beauty, culture, and language of Italy, singers are inspired to push beyond what they thought possible.

Violin Intensive and Chamber Music

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.

Composition, Creativity and Improv Retreat

At BIIMA, creativity begins where boundaries end. This retreat invites you to step into your artistry — to create, explore, and listen deeply to the music that only you can make. It’s a space for freedom, curiosity, and authentic expression, where every sound, silence, and gesture becomes part of your unfolding voice.

Choral Retreat (Coming back in 2028)

The BIIMA Choral Retreat will provide an authentic and unforgettable cultural immersion in Breno, Italy for the active amateur choral musician. Choristers will spend two weeks living in the Italian Alps , developing musicianship and vocal technique, rehearsing repertoire, performing for local audiences, taking in performances, and making life-long connections and memories .
