Royal Academy of Music (Music)
(Exchange Program)
(Outgoing Program)
Introduction:
The Royal Academy of Music has 650 students from over 50 countries and is considered to be one of Britain’s most renowned conservatories. It was founded in 1822, and in 1999 it became the first conservatory to be admitted as a full member of the University of London. Academy musicians study for University of London degrees in varied programs such as instrumental performance, composition, jazz, musical theater and opera.
The facilities at the Academy are first–rate, with a state-of-the-art recital hall and a new performance center containing 11 practice studios that are fully sound-proofed and equipped with brand-new pianos. The museum is home to one of the world’s most significant collections of musical instruments and artifacts.
In addition to a busy schedule of lessons, classes and master classes, students will be enriched by the Academy's comprehensive calendar of concerts, operas, musical theatre shows and other events, in which they work regularly with leading practitioners.
London is widely acknowledged to be the musical capital of the world. The Academy is right in the heart of the city, within easy reach of many famous venues. London has five resident symphony orchestras, all of which perform regularly during term-time, as well as two major opera houses. The Academy has particularly strong links with the Philharmonia and London Symphony Orchestra as well as with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the London Sinfonietta. London is a recognized center for experimental jazz, and Academy students perform regularly at the famous 606 Club.
