The academy was founded in 2019 by pianist and composer Jean, Pierre, Baptiste in Monaco. He currently serves as President of the Academy.
After learning to play the piano for 15 years at the Conservatoire de Region in Nice, Jean initiated a career as a professor and piano concertist in Monaco. Over several trips in Latin America, he also contributed his time and effort to non-profit organizations, especially in Argentina, where he partnered with TECHO, Un Techo Para Mi Pais, to offer free piano lessons to children in need.
Back in Monaco, he created the Sol Piano Academy which is now counting more than 80 active piano teachers ready to partner with the foundation.
I am proud to say that as of today we have helped more than 500 children around the world thanks to music, bringing them joy and very often purpose.
We promote the life-changing benefits of music.
We bring free of charge ‘Learn to Play’ experiences to
people of all ages and backgrounds.
We donate instruments and music tuition to individuals who need our help.
