After a very successful 2011 Institute we are designing  BASOTI 2012 to reflect the conversations we've had with the participants.  They told us they loved the classes and wanted more of them.  They wanted larger scenes and roles of any size to put on their resumes.  They wanted more Alexander exercises,  more audition classes and more time to digest what they're learning!  We've been around for 20 years, and we know how to put on a summer program!
 
This yeare we are extending BASOTI by one week and doing many scenes and operas, just like a repertoire opera house.  We want you to be able to go back to your schools or step into the world and know what it means to be a successful singer. We want you to leave our Institute encouraged to live up to your potential and confident as singing actors. 
 
Our teachers and presenters had a great time with last year's group.  Our participants told us that they learned so many new aspects of the profession and gleaned new information about themselves, too.  (Take a peek at their remarks on the TESTIMONIAL page.)  They said they now feel much more confident to have created an inspiring plan for the next period of their life.  We feel that BASOTI 2012 can help you, too,  to become  a fully self-expressed human being and performer.
 
Our teachers at BASOTI will help you continue your professional development over the summer vacation. You will have acting lessons, voice lessons, if you wish,  and learn how to listen and interact with your on-stage partners.  Alexander lessons will give you insights and sensations for the alignment of your body.  You will form friendships, begin networking and receive a send-off for your future career as a singer.
 
 
We'll be giving you the 'jewels' which we professionals have come to appreciate as the core ingredients of a successful musical career.  We will give them to  you to use as you wish.  You will experience how seasoned performers see the profession and hear what they had to do to get there. We will offer to you, BASOTI-ITES, insights that will help you make choices that are positive and supportive of your goals.
 
This dynamic training program will teach you transformational techniques to enable you to perform in front of an audience with ease. You will sing and speak publicly without fear, act with intention and understanding, improve your musicianship, and learn how to create a professional persona.  And there will be plenty of performing opportunities!
 
 
WE ARE GOING TO HELP YOU 
 
 
 
E - X - P - A -  N - D  YOUR POTENTIAL!  
 
 
This  is one of the most exciting training programs in the nation.  It has been around for 20 years, and we know what helps singers become better!   This season is generating energy and excitement because of the new directions it will be taking!

Note:   in 2012 we are increasing the length of the program by one week and three days. That makes a week in our program less expensive than last year!  You may sign up for voice lessons with our Master Teachers, whom you will pay personally, as well as acting lessons and Alexander lessons included in the fee, and you will have a private session with a career coach as well.   There is no work-study, and you'll be able to concentrate on your own art for a whole month without distractions.
