IRENE BESSE ACADEMY USES  STEINWAY-FAMILY PIANOS IN ALL PERFORMANCE, TEACHING AND PRACTICE SPACES

Irene Besse Academy of Music is proud to use only Steinway-designed pianos.  While we are not a degree-granting University or College,  this is an important first step for Canadian Music.  At this point in time, there are a number of accredited Canadian Colleges & Universities well on their way to becoming All-Steinway Schools in the very near future.

Students of the Irene Besse Acadamy will now be even better prepared for higher-education and performance careers as a result of the excellent equipment. 

At the same time, while making this fantastic investment in the quality of education received at IBAM, fees will not be increasing.  Recital opportunities on the beautiful 9' Steinway Concert Grand are all just 'part of the IBAM experience'!
