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.
