General Information
The Royal Danish Academy of Music is specialised in the training of musicians and professionals in the field of classical music. The Academy combines traditional musicianship with a modern Danish approach to learning that enables students to achieve performance excellence as well as individual artistic expression. Each student’s talent and potential are developed through a close collaboration between the student and faculty in a supportive and inclusive teaching environment that is attentive to the student’s individual needs and aspirations.
Equally important is the opportunity for performance experience. The Academy maintains its own full symphony orchestra alongside specialised chamber ensembles and continuously run both large and small projects, festivals, concerts and collaborations with local and international artists and organisations. As an integral part of the classical music scene in Copenhagen, the Academy also cooperates with important established national actors in music.
Since its foundation in 1867, The Royal Danish Academy has educated students for professional careers in classical music. Today, the Academy still provides students with the skills they need to succeed but also aims to foresee and shape the future of classical music.

INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
The Royal Danish Academy of Music sustains an extensive international network including strong partnerships with some of the leading music academies across the globe, particularly in Europe, China and the United States. Students at the Academy are regularly invited to participate in masterclasses with internationally renowned artists and educators that bring insight into the global classical music scene. Being a forerunner in Distance Learning activities, the Academy also provides unique opportunities for direct access to teachers at academies in other parts of the world.

The international student environment is of great value strengthening intercultural skills and as a future professional network preparing students for the global labour market in classical music.
