The Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus is a state institution under the auspices of the Danish Ministry of Culture, charged with responsibility for the further education courses in music, and for otherwise contributing to the promotion of musical culture in Denmark.

The courses have been given the highest status, both nationally and internationally. This means that they measure up to the best comparable courses on offer abroad. We train students for careers as professional musicians, and, depending on the course taken, students graduate either as solo performers or as music teachers.

The emphasis of the teaching is on solo work with an instrument or the voice, but there is also ensemble playing and a number of supplementary subjects. For those studying to become music teachers, particular importance is attached to music pedagogy and communicative subjects. Our corps of teachers is active and committed, and we expect our students to exhibit the same qualities. We are flexible, but we attach importance to discipline and cooperation as important elements in the training of professional musicians and music teachers.

The academy has several international activities. Read more.

The facilities:
The departments have six large halls: one large hall that is used for symphonic music and musical drama, one smaller hall for chamber music, two halls with special acoustics for rhythmic music and two halls designed especially for dancing and activities for larger groups of people. About 75 teaching and practice rooms, of various sizes, form the day-to-day workplace for the teachers and students. We also have a number of special facilities including a library, a music library, a record library, a listening room and a canteen.

The audio technology department maintains all the audio technology equipment, and regularly documents the academy’s activities with the help of its 2 modern recording studios. Moreover, the department is able to help with sound/video recording when the academy participates in international competitions, and in special teaching situations, master classes, etc. All the rooms are equipped with the relevant instruments. Furthermore, we have a considerable collection of instruments that the students can borrow.

A special department of the academy is DIEM, Denmarks national centre for electronic music. DIEM has two fully professionally equipped soundstudios especially designed for artistic work and research in the electronic music field.
