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

The course content is arranged in collaboration with the individual student. The following areas can be covered: sight reading, accompaniment, transposition, chord playing, and solo repertoire. Depending on the student's level of playing, the course may also include chamber music and score reading/piano reduction.

  • Develop techniques and general musicianship
  • Increased repertoire and ability to perform piano music

Course Format

The course format may vary and will be coordinated and worked out individually with DIS and the Academy.

Practice Requirements

Students in this course are expected to practice a minimum of 10 -15 hours per week.

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.
