🎵 After 14 Meaningful Years, We Say Goodbye

It is with full hearts and deep gratitude that we announce the permanent closure of our Academy, with final lessons concluding on October 28th.

Over the past 14 years, we’ve had the joy and privilege of witnessing countless musical journeys—from first notes to final recitals, from quiet breakthroughs to proud performances. We've shared the stage, the classroom, and the joy of growth with incredible students, supportive families, and passionate faculty.

We’re especially proud to have served as South Florida’s Royal Conservatory of Music testing center, and to have hosted biannual recitals that became beautiful moments of connection, celebration, and community.

To everyone who has been a part of this journey—thank you. Your trust, support, and shared love for music have shaped something truly special.

Though our Academy is closing, the music, memories, and relationships will resonate far beyond these walls.

With heartfelt appreciation,

William Villaverde and Fabiana Claure
Co-Founders and Directors
