The Triennial Advanced Violin Course is targeted on educating  high profile professionals with solid  technical  and artistic skills. The educational goals are oriented to the creation of an artist who has got the specific tools to engage a solo or chamber carrier with the necessary requirements and knowledge in order to face, manage and sustain a high level concert event.
In order to archieve the educational goals, public performing is to be considered a fundamental moment in the educational path.

REQUIREMENTS TO ACCESS THE COURSES
The access to Accademy as an effective student involves passing an Admission exam, according to the call for competition. The Violin improvement courses have a single address: solo and concert, which includes two different levels, allowing the students to get their diploma: ordinary and master.
The Master title is recognized for particular merits  by the Committee, with an overall majority, during the yearly final tests. Such qualified students  are exempted from the yearly tuition  payment. Students may access the courses as Auditors, through a simple request to the main office. Auditors may attend the violin classes and all the Academy activities, under previous authorization of the single teachers.
Auditors who would like to join in the seminars as performers must ask for written Direction authorization, which may require an audition. Auditors may attend all the  Academy’s activities, under the single teacher’s authorization but they are not allowed to write on their resumé that they are or were students at the Accademia.
