About us
Art with presence. Learning with soul.
At Bonazzelli Academy, we believe the arts are more than skills — they’re languages that shape how we think, feel, and connect.
Founded by educator and artist Elisa Bonazzelli, our academy offers music, theater, and creative programs designed to nurture both artistic expression and emotional development.
We work with children, teens, and families through:
🎶 Individual and small group classes
🎭 Family-centered workshops and performances
💡 A balance of structure, creativity, and care
Our approach blends classical foundations with modern expression — always grounded in respect for each student’s rhythm and voice.
Whether it’s their first note or their first time on stage, we help students grow in confidence, creativity, and joy.
Founder & Head of School
Violist, Violinist, international concert performer, and music therapist, Elisa Bonazzelli is the founder of Bonazzelli International Academy. With over 20 years of experience performing in prestigious venues such as the Musikverein in Vienna, the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, the Vatican, and La Scala in Milan, she brings artistic excellence together with a deep passion for education and therapy.
Through this academy, Elisa shares her vision: a holistic musical education that blends technique, emotion, and well-being. Her unique approach combines classical training, creative expression, and music therapy tools—offering a nurturing space for children, youth, and adults to grow through music.
Bonazzelli Academy is the living expression of her journey, her love for teaching, and her commitment to inspiring future generations.
Music is not just sound—it’s the invisible bridge between emotion and healing. Through each note, we learn to listen, to grow, and to become more human.
A Living Legacy
Three generations of women, one shared language: ARTS.
This academy is not only the fruit of professional experience — it’s the continuation of a legacy.
Elisa is the third generation of women artists and educators: raised by a mother who taught through music, and inspired by a grandmother who played piano before she could read. In her home, art was never just performance — it was a way of living, listening, and connecting across generations.
From lullabies at the kitchen table to recitals in old concert halls, creativity was passed down not as a task, but as a gift.
Bonazzelli Academy carries that same spirit forward — one that believes in the quiet, transformative power of art to shape lives, relationships, and futures. Through each class, each note, and each student’s voice, a lineage of expression continues to grow.
