The Academy specialises in the education and training of classical musicians at the highest international level and cooperates with leading conservatories across the United States, Europe and China. Its strong international profile attracts students, faculty and guest teachers from all over the world. All programmes except for music teaching are available in English, which is also spoken by both Faculty and students.

Teaching methods at The Royal Danish Academy of Music (RDAM) foster and develop each student’s individual artistic profile in both technical skills and musical expression. Faculty have solid pedagogical skills coupled with years of artistic experience as both educators and professional artists.
