The Queen Sofía College of Music (Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Spanish) is a private music college founded in Madrid, Spain, in 1991 by Paloma O'Shea. It is part of the Albéniz Foundation.[1]
History
The school was founded by Paloma O'Shea[2] in 1991[1] in Madrid, in order to provide young Spanish musicians with a solid artistic education without the need to study abroad in other European countries.[1]
Programs
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. Originally The school offers individually tailored instruction to ensure that each student gets the training that he or she needs[3] without following any pre-established program of studies, but in 2016 they introduced an official 4-year Bachelor of Music degree. It also offers post-graduate and pre-college preparatory training.
