The IMIF Arts Experience
In addition to the intensity of four private lessons in 10 days, daily chamber music rehearsals, attending faculty and guest artist masterclasses and performances, and preparing for public performances, all students participate in a series of interdisciplinary arts experiences.
These include dance, theatre, art, and relaxation, improvisation, and discussion on topics such as effective practicing and careers in music. This innovative, comprehensive, and inter-disciplinary curriculum is a vital part of the IMIF experience, assisting participants in becoming more expressive and communicative persons and performers.
