“The Next Generation of Brazilian Pianists”
Advanced Piano and Master Classes Program
BMF School of Music (BMFSOM)
Fully sponsor a pianist and create a scholarship under
your name or in honor or memory of someone special.
The Brazilian Music Foundation School of Music, is now creating a new program dedicated to helping young pianists in Brazil.
“Music talent in Brazil is abundant, but many young musicians do not have access to the resources and opportunities they need to develop their talents and pursue careers in classical music. For that reason we are creating possibilities for these young musicians to learn and succeed in life through music education”, says Max Barros, artistic director of BMF.
Madalena Sousa, Founder and president of BMF announced that the program will provide full scholarships to nurture and develop the talents of young low-income Brazilian pianists, and to provide them with the skills, support, and opportunities they need to succeed in the competitive world of classical music. By offering high-quality piano instruction, master classes, performance opportunities, travel expenses and mentorship, we aim to inspire and empower our students to reach their full potential as musicians and artists.
PROGRAM
Piano Instruction
Participants will receive private piano lessons and participate in master classes from experienced teachers, who will work with them to refine their technique and musical expression. A hybrid format of online and onsite lessons will be offered for nine months a year.
Performance Opportunities
BMF will help participants with opportunities to perform, including recitals, concerts, competitions and master classes. These events will help participants build their confidence and develop their stage presence.
Music Theory and History
Participants will receive lessons in music theory and history, which will deepen their understanding of the classical music repertoire and help them become more well-rounded musicians.
Mentorship and Guidance
Participants will have access to mentors and guidance from experienced musicians, who will provide them with advice and support as they navigate the professional music world.
Networking and Career Development
Participants will have opportunities to meet and network with other musicians, music educators, and industry professionals, which will help them build relationships and explore career opportunities.
English Lessons
Participants will receive weekly English lessons online to facilitate their networking and prepare for career opportunities in a globalized market.

The Brazilian Music Foundation (BMF) has a long history of sponsoring projects to help disadvantaged children in Brazil through the program “The Future of Our Children” created in 2015 by Madalena Sousa, the Founder/CEO, and president of BMF. In addition to that she also created the BMF School of music “BMFSOM” to teach Brazilian music, its rhythms and styles in the City of New York City.
