Our intensive is specially curated to meet the technical, emotional, and practical needs of highly motivated and talented singers. This is a place to challenge, grow, and create…not a place where perfection is the priority. We believe that students deserve to leave better than they arrived because of the amount of autonomy they have over curating their performance experiences, honest and candid discussions about the realities of being an artist in the 21st century with leading professionals, and the complete support that BMA faculty gives to individual students.

BMA Summer Vocal Intensive faculty and staff represent some of the finest experts in the industry and are selected based on artistic merit and eagerness to work with young musicians. Participants can expect to work with renowned vocal experts from the world's leading institutions including the Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Manhattan School of Music, University of South Carolina, The Book of Mormon among others.

Chaperons are invited to observe group masterclasses, but there will be staff and faculty available to aid with younger participants.

FREE APPLICATION

FREE TUITION

Optional Voice Lesson Ad On: $100.00

Our vocal faculty and staff prepare students as if they are participants in a top-tier young artist program. In order to ensure everyone receives proper time and attention, unprepared singers may lose their roles. This allows the staff to focus on bringing out the highest level of artistry from every singer in the program instead of granting extra time to unprepared singers to make them “performance ready.”

Lunches are not provided, but snacks are provided for participants. Breaks will be available for students to have a packed lunch, or go to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
