I want to express my gratitude to Ingrid and all her teachers for the huge role they have played in our lives. For me as a mom, the school has been an immense support. Ingrid has been an angel in my life. I've felt understood and her guidance has been invaluable. During our five years here, we have worked together as a team. Nothing had stopped her. She is always thinking about what else to do to help the kids. Her wisdom, integrity, love and knowledge has helped both my son and myself! The program here is so much more interesting for the kids and there is more freedom in finding a pace and style that truly works for their unique needs. There is no limit to their creativity and eagerness to learn! I just wished all the kids in Miami had the privilege to find MCA as we did! Maria Cristina Massa

The location is however beautiful and the grounds also. This time my visit took me to the Auditorium to watch the Alhambra Orchestra play a few pieces most notably from Beethoven and Dvorak. A colleague plays French Horn and it was my first time watching him play. The auditorium is spacious with large center aisles; it has two levels and also has ample seating for approximately 300 persons. Alhambra Orchestra is funded through the generous donations of its members and participants. It is not a professional ensemble and all the artists donate their time so that we might enjoy classical music. All of the concerts are free. The next venue is October 29th at the Arsht Center and you can get free tickets online on October 18th. (http://www.arshtcenter.org/mobile/calendar/?srcid=5282&id=5282&epslanguage=en) We were seated in the box seats closest to the Orchestra and which is the best spot to see all of the artists and probably also had the best acoustics. Classical music is definitely not dead. Afterwards, free punch and cookies were served and I spent some time with Alejandro to get his perspective on how he came to be so dedicated to his craft, the French Horn. I learned he practices 1.5 hours a day which on the balance is a lot for an unpaid position. He said he also plays with a professional Orchestra but it does not meet frequently. In contrast, professional positions in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in will earn starting salaries of $140,000 but they also practice 3 hours daily and meet with the Orchestra another 8 hours. It's a full time job. He had tried to audition 12 years earlier but didn't make the cut. His day job is in IT which pays the bills but Alejandro's passion is the French Horn and perhaps one day he will be able to make it. If you have the opportunity to see a concert here I highly recommend it.
