Born in Cuba, Beatriz Boizán began studying piano at an early age under the guidance of her grandmother Esclarecida Guilarte. She continued her studies at the National School of Music in Havana where she graduated with Honors in 1995 after earning numerous awards for best interpretation of Latin-American music.

While moving to Canada in 1996 may have taken Ms. Boizán further away from her Latin roots, it brought the artist new opportunities to pursue her post-secondary musical training at the University of British Columbia (2002) and the University of Alberta (2004). From 1999 until 2002, she attended piano master-classes in Barcelona with the legendary Spanish pianist Alicia de Larrocha.
