Maghan focused on helping me find my real voice and is very detail-oriented in her approach. She helped me feel freer in my body. Her kindness and patience is admirable and truly inspiring, and these characteristics are reflective of the program!

S.M.

There really isn’t a sense of competition at BIIMA—the faculty encourages everyone to support one another. Because of the small numbers, and the tone set by the faculty, I left Breno with friendships and artistic relationships that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

S.N.

Although our time in Breno was short, I feel as though this experience will stay with me forever and will continue to support me in my future studies. Thank you for making this opportunity possible for me.

B.S.

Working with Maghan has been a transformational experience for me. I had lost a lot of self confidence in singing. From our first meeting, Maghan created a safe environment for me in lessons. With Maghan’s expert knowledge and guidance, I’ve developed the skills to sing pieces that were previously out of my reach, I’ve regained my confidence as a singer, and I’m now flourishing as a performing artist.

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.
