Jose Enrique Pedreira (February 2, 1904-January 6, 1959) born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, was a renowned composer of Puerto Rican danzas. Jose Enrique Pedreira Pedreira was born into a family that formed part of San Juan's "High Society" who sent him to the best known private schools on the island and from a young age gave him private music lessons. In 1922 he graduated from high school and was sent to New York City, by his parents, to continue his musical education. Here he enrolled in the music school of Segismundo Stojowski where he learned piano and music composition. It was here that he met a fellow student who was also to become his wife, Alicia Hutchinson. In 1932, he returned to Puerto Rico with his wife and established the Pedreira Academy of Music in San Juan. Together with his wife (a violinist) he gave piano and violin lessons. During his spare time he composed music and danzas for piano, violin and cello.
