Our music summer course Chianti in Musica has been taken place since 2006 in San Donato in Poggio, a wonderful medieval town between Florence and Siena. The masterclass lasts a week, this year (XIV edition) will be July 20th - 28th.
Each year the event comprises instrumental lessons and musical ensemble, musical aperitifs, concerts and recitals.
The instrument courses are aimed at both high school students and middle school students. Some junior children have also participated in the past, accompanied by their parents to San Donato.
The instrument lessons are individual, and therefore modulated on the level of the student. In general, all students are invited to listen to their classmates' lessons as well.
Amateur musicians are welcome and can participate in the activities of the string orchestra. In this case, however, a short video is required (also home-made) to know their instrumental level.
Scuola Leonardo Da Vinci was founded in Florence in 1977 as an institute of Italian language and culture. Today, we provide a range of Italian language and music courses at our schools in Florence, Rome, and Milan.
In addition to specialised music programs, we also provide General Instrument courses for Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Flute, Piccolo, Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Horn, Guitar, and Drums.
Tuition is from beginner to advanced levels, with flexible course schedules available. Our music courses are taught by experienced, professional tutors.
Still today the school promotes, along with the language, the study of Italian culture. Scuola Leonardo da Vinci has been enriched by new courses to meet the demands of the contemporary market.
