A place to live music.

An academy founded by musicians, where children and adults learn music, not just songs.

Founded by Blanca Fuentes, pianist and composer.

At Academia La Blanca we believe that learning music means much more than learning to play songs. We offer extracurricular music education for children, teens and adults through structured, close and high-quality teaching.
