The Royal Danish Academy of Music (RDAM) is specialized in the training of classical musicians and has educated music students for professional careers since 1867.  The Academy has a strong international profile collaborating with leading music schools in Europe, Asia and North America and an experienced faculty with professional music careers of their own.

RDAM is part of the Scandinavian and European music tradition and is housed in historic surroundings with beautiful and acoustically outstanding concert halls, class and rehearsal rooms.

Course Description

This course includes private tutelage and one-on-one instruction in theory, instrumentation, or electro-acoustics. The course aims at developing the composer’s own faculty and creativity in order to adequately represent his or her ideas through composition.

Course Objectives

  • Develop the composer’s own faculty and creativity
  • Development of both technical and compositional skills

Course Requirements and Grading

At the end of the semester you will receive a Danish grade by Royal Danish Academy of Music that is reported to the DIS Office of Academic Support and translated to the American equivalent:

12   Exceptional performance and/or improvement in the course of the semester (A)

10   Superior performance and/or improvement in the course of the semester (A-)

7     Good performance and/or improvement in the course of the semester (B)

4     Acceptable performance and/or improvement in the course of the semester (C)

2     Minimally acceptable performance and/or improvement in the course of the semester (C-)

Anything lower than a score of 2 will not be considered to have reached passing standard.

Students will be graded in their own right and not against the performance or abilities of others, as they are likely to be beginning at different levels of competency.
