Please enjoy some of the comments we have received about our Acadmey program from distinguished professional musicians.

esteemed pianist, Janina Fialkowska

I had the great pleasure to give a Master Class in 2010 for the Academy of the Music Institute of Chicago. The level of the talented young musicians was extremely high; higher , in fact than most university music students. What was also interesting was the way these young pianists had been taught to use their own intelligence in developing their interpretations.The performances were youthful , highly skilled but also thoughtful. My suggestions were listened to with great attention and absorbed quickly which was very gratifying.It was a great experience and I was very impressed by the excellent work of those who inspire and lead the way at the Academy.
