MUSIC

IST, in partnership with music teacher Antonella Costantini, will once again be organizing a variety of music courses and workshops for our students this year.

Our aim is to foster a culture of music at our school through preparatory courses and group lessons offering musical education that cater to a broad range of ages, including Early Childhood students.

As you can see from the list below, these courses will enable students to follow the curriculum of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM), a globally recognized authority in music education. We have enclosed a brief information leaflet about ABRSM for your reference.

In light of the achievements and proficiency levels attained by our students in previous years, we have decided to offer some courses on campus and others at the OperUs Music Academy located at Via Roma 20, 34132 Trieste. This ensures that we have ample space and appropriate instruments to accommodate even our more advanced students.

We invite you to join us for an online meeting, through ZOOM, on Monday 18 at 6.30pm. All music teachers will attend the meeting to present their curricula and address any questions you may have. You can access the online presentation through the following link:

ID meeting: 896 4778 8234

Passcode: 080625

The courses will begin on the week of October 1 and will run throughout the school year. Students will have the chance to take free trial lessons to be arranged directly with the music teachers on 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29 September.

Please note that our music teachers are open to considering requests for lessons on other instruments too. For any further information, you can send your enquiries to info.operaus@gmail.com or contact Ms. Antonella Costantini directly by phone on the following number 351 8077738.
