Our History
Harmonia Academy was founded in 2005 by renowned vocalist and music educator, Dr. Eleanor Vance, with a vision to create a nurturing and inspiring environment for aspiring musicians in New York City. What began as a small studio in Greenwich Village quickly grew into a thriving community, attracting students from all over the world.
Dr. Vance, a graduate of the Juilliard School and a seasoned performer, recognized the need for a music school that prioritized both technical proficiency and artistic expression. She assembled a team of highly qualified instructors, each with a passion for teaching and a commitment to helping students reach their full potential. The academy's early success was built on its personalized approach, its focus on individualized instruction, and its dedication to fostering a supportive and collaborative learning environment.
In 2012, Harmonia Academy expanded its facilities to include state-of-the-art practice rooms, a fully equipped recital hall, and a dedicated recording studio. This expansion allowed the academy to offer a wider range of courses and programs, including vocal training, instrumental lessons in piano, guitar, violin, and more, as well as specialized workshops in music theory, composition, and performance.
Over the years, Harmonia Academy has established a reputation for excellence, with its students consistently achieving success in auditions, competitions, and professional performances. The academy remains committed to its founding principles, providing a world-class music education that empowers students to pursue their musical dreams.
