COURSE MODALITIES & RESIDENT COMPOSER
The IAVA access packages consist in four modules that can be purchased individually. Each module features three approx. 10-min. videos in which Iñaki Alberdi explains the module’s objective. Each video comes with a download package of teaching material with a study plan, exercises, and music scores of accordion repertoire specifically related with the unit’s subject. Before passing on to the next level, the student has to fulfill the objectives of the three lessons in the module.
It is fundamental to be in contact with composers of today who are committed to creating new, didactic repertoire for students. Within the framework of the IAVA project, you can become a part of this process by working together with a composer.

ADMISSION
IAVA reserves the right to refuse admission. We work on basic concepts for advanced accordion students; thus a certain level of performance and ear training is required.
PROCEDURE
Student candidates are selected on the basis of a 15 to 20-minute video they send. After having selected the candidates, IAVA shall send all candidates the corresponding notification.
