Features Of Our Program
ISMI offers a truly unique experience: three private lessons in six days tailored to the individual needs of each student. In addition to lessons, chamber music and orchestra provide a platform for students to hone communication skills and gain high-level performance experience. ISMI is open to pre-college and university-aged students with age and level-appropriate instruction. Cost-effective tuition, housing, and meals make our institute an affordable option, and limited financial aid is available. All events are on UNT campus and within a five-minute walk to the dormitories and cafeterias.
