The pedagogical scheme followed by this center of higher education is the search for excellence: the best professors for each discipline - who enjoy total teaching freedom - get together in a friendly atmosphere with the most outstanding young musicians to receive a personalized and thorough education. The range of disciplines being taught at present go from piano, violin, viola, violoncello, double bass, oboe, horn, voice and chamber orchestra to academic and supplementary teachings as well as languages.

Concerts are an essential activity of the Reina Sofía School of Music since one of the main principles of this institution has been, from the start, the promotion of the artistic projection of its students facilitating their contact with the actual world of music: that universe of stages, focuses, audiences, etc., an array of elements that not only stimulates the artist and gives him satisfactions but, at the same time, becomes more demanding than the most exhaustive exam. The Reina Sofía School visions the stage as a continuation of the classroom and prepares such concerts as a meeting point where three vectors coincide to give it strength: the teachings of the maestro, the talent of the students and the receptivity of the audience. From the conjunction of these three energies arises the miracle of music.

The collaboration between public and civil societies is a landmark of the Fundación Albéniz. Thus, the Board of Trustees of the School includes important personalities from the public administration and private enterprises that meet under the Presidency of Honour of Her Majesty the Queen. For the Reina Sofía School of Music to bear Her Majesty's name represents not only a great honour but also a special commitment towards effort and perfection to accomplish objectives.
