During the summer program, students are exposed to intensive study to improve their mastery of performance; they spend time practicing and performing recitals and studying with the artists on the faculty.
IIYM was developed to help assist its participants in translating their artistic visions into exceptional performances. The performers study directly under the guidance of the internationally renowned professionals teaching at IIYM’s Summer Music Academy.
The course is designed to help students improve their mastery of performance and gives them world-class opportunities. For more information, see the IIYM website and join us July 16 at 7:30 p.m. to enjoy the diverse group of musicians performing for IIYM.
