This program is tailor-made for each musician, working alongside others on body awareness, repertoire, technique, and performance.

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 from the opera, art song, contemporary or oratorio genres. 1 piece may be musical theatre.
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.
