ESCUELA SUPERIOR DE MÚSICA REINA SOFÍA

The Reina Sofía School of Music is an institution devoted to training performers of

great excellence while at the same time offering its students all necessary means for

attaining a high level of musical specialisation. This kind of training requires

personalized attention. The School provides this through individualised study plans

for each student, which guarantee that they will receive the specific teaching they

need and through close contact with the professors, all of whom are eminent

performers and teachers.

The education offered by the School gives students a comprehensive training so that

music may be placed within its historical and ideological context and also be related

to other artistic and cultural forms of expression. Furthermore, the Reina Sofía

School of Music understands that the whole process of professional training is

closely linked to actual artistic activity and, as such, serves as preparation for the

future professional life of the students. With this aim in mind, every year the School

organises more than two hundred concerts of all possible types: recitals, chamber

music, orchestral concerts. Taking part in these concerts are those students who, in

the opinion of their teachers, are sufficiently prepared to perform in front of the

public.The importance of chamber music within the teaching programme of the

School has resulted in the creation of a new independent institution: The

International Institute of Chamber Music of Madrid where students of the School

receive education in this speciality.

The Reina Sofía School of Music is now beginning the process of student

selection to fill the class vacancies for Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn,

Violin, Viola, Violoncello, Double Bass, Voice and Piano.
