Singers in the IMFA Vocal Studio will have the opportunity to work with all faculty members in a curriculum that will include:

• Private lessons and coachings
• Italian language instruction
• Singing-acting workshops
• Performance master classes
• Round table discussions of singing and career topics

Students bring with them the solo repertoire that they wish to study and perform. In addition, all students are assigned an opera scene to perform during the festival.

Collaboration is a primary emphasis of the festival, and singers will be given a variety of other assignments which may include:

• Art song collaborations with a pianist
• Other vocal chamber music, such as pieces for string quartet and voice
• Collaboration with student composer on a new work

Singers will have frequent access to IMFA faculty for lessons, coachings, and master classes.
