Education
The Leon Fleisher Academy is a comprehensive year-round program for pre-college musicians. It was founded with the purpose of continuing the unparalleled legacy of Leon Fleisher, a legendary musician and teacher.
The Academy follows in the footsteps of Artur Schnabel and Leon Fleisher by offering a one-of-the-kind educational model that allows participants to work closely with distinguished artists and educators who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to provide students with exceptional guidance. The Academy is dedicated to training talented young participants who receive a comprehensive education, including our developed curriculum, performance opportunities, mentorship, and guidance in career development.
We combine an individualized approach to music education with a collaborative learning environment to provide our students with exceptional guidance and support. We tailor instruction to student’s unique needs and goals, ensuring they receive the attention to reach their full potential. At the same time, we foster a collaborative learning environment in which students are encouraged to work together, learn from each other, creating a supportive community helping them grow and flourish as musicians who thrive individually and as part of a team.
