A short-term (two week) summer program of study centered in Faenza and Firenze, with a two-day stay in Bologna. In addition, we will take day trips to Ravenna, Ferrara, Sienna and San Gimignano.

Students will observe and attend music lessons and rehearsals in an Italian conservatory, as well as observe classes of music education for children and participate in teaching some elements of those classes. Students will prepare meals with the help of Italian cooks, visit and shop at food markets and street markets, and visit several architectural monuments that have defined Western architecture since the Trecento, as well as have the opportunity to observe the architectural styles in urban and rural settings.
