Even though it bears the name of the vibrant tropical city, the Miami International Piano Festival Academy organizes pedagogical musical programs worldwide, conveying the tradition of great musical masters with a strong awareness of today's state of the classical music industry.
MIPFA is different because it allows students to hear and appreciate differences, allowing them the freedom to choose what is most natural and comfortable for their hands, mind, and heart.
