Talent Music Summer

We had registered for mastercourses with two professors and payed the registration fees for both, also for an audition. They notified us that the courses will not take place because there were not enough students who registered for these professors. We asked for another course with a professor who was also listed on the website. But her course was also cancelled, as we were told by the organizers. They sent us a reduced list (courses of 10 of the 16 names presented on the website are cancelled!) a by email telling us that we had to choose from those. We answered that we wanted to withdraw in that case, since you don't register randomly for masterclasses but always to work with specific professors. That the ones on their new list were doubtlessly good experts but that we didn't like the way they were dealing with the presentation of the courses which do not correspond to the ones which in fact are offered. They do not refund the money we have payed. They don't have to, according to the regulations, as we were reminded. We are more than disappointed from this organization. For those wanting to register for the courses: Registration is still open for the professors and dates given on the website, including for the courses of the three professors we had chosen. That means that they continue to accept registrations and keep the money for courses which have been cancelled already. We are not going there and will never again attempt to go. There are many other summer academies and mastercourses which are seriously run. Keep your fingers from this one!The fact that the organizer put himself on the list we received by email while he was not available on the website for those dates is an indication that the way they handle things is also unfair towards the professors whose courses they cancel. They use their names to attract people and keep the registration for their courses open while telling them that the course has to be cancelled. And they direct the students to the few ones they offer, that of the organizer being one of them.

这是一个只会乱赚钱的地方，收完钱你就收不到邮件回复咯

Bravissimi pianisti.Anche questa sera ragazzi fantastici e preparatissimi

Musicisti bravissimi!

Con tutti i soldi spesi per partecipare ad una sola masterclass mi sarei aspettato molto, ma molto di più. Pianoforti scordati, sgabelli vecchi, segreteria con un solo ragazzo e una interminabile coda di studenti per il check-in, porte rotte e aria condizionata danneggiata...e non proseguo.Leggendo le numerose recensioni non posso che concordare su questo aspetto: è un'accademia (o scuola se così di può definire) incentrata sui soldi.Non ci si prende gioco su gli investimenti di giovani ragazzi e studenti che vengono da tutto il mondo per perfezionarsi.

I don't trust spammers.

Essentially a moneymaking scam, this institution itself has no interest in providing good music courses, but rather focuses on making the most money with the smallest effort.
