In 1987 M° Uri Chameides created a model music camps that since then welcome every year dozens of students from all over the world. This model was then taken and imitated in all North of Italy, but the original format and content are renewed every year in the enchanted resort of Piandelagotti, at the Albergo Alpino Hotel, in the heart of the Appennini mountains between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna.

 

Due to a natural evolution pushed by the participants requests, Piandelagotti music camp offers two types of courses, that differ in target and content, happening into two different periods of the summer. The first course happens generally between the end of June and the end of July, while the second one in the second half of August.

 

Each course has his start in the students that take part to it. Therefore, the didactive idea has birth in the individual, and put in the center the work of the student with his teacher,

During the years Piandelagotti hosted students and teachers from England, Irland, France, Sweden, Denamarc, Finland, Lituan, Germany, Austria, Serbia, Israel, USA, Korea, Japan and Swizerland.
