An Academy with a human dimension.
The human dimension of the Academy is given by
- the participants' proximity with the Academy teachers
- proximity with the families hosting the participants
Consequently, and in order to ensure ideal studying conditions, the number of participants is limited.
The Bretagne International Saxophone Academy aims to give pre-professional students an intensive preparation for concerts, conservatoire entrance exams (CRD, CRR and CNSMDP) as well as for national and international competitions.
The Academy is open for all nationalities as well as for minor participants. Lessons are given in French, English, German, Finnish or Japanese.
