The school was founded by Paloma O'Shea[1] in 1991[2] in Madrid, in order to provide young Spanish musicians with a solid artistic education without the need to study abroad in other european countries.[2]
The purpose is to train first-rate musicians, and all the necessary resources are made available to students and teachers with this end in mind. The school offers individually-tailored instruction to ensure that each student gets the training that he or she needs. However, the school does not award academic degrees of any kind.
The school's new campus is in central Madrid near the Royal Palace and Madrid's main opera theatre, Teatro Real. The new building has over 30 teaching and rehearsal rooms, offices, library and a large concert hall.
