Where are classes held?
Classes are held at La Schola Cantorum in the heart of Paris.
Can minors apply?
The admission committee may occasionally accept minor students to the institute; these students must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during their residency.
Do I have to take EAMA housing?
Students can elect to make their own lodging arrangements.
Can I audit other program’s classes?
To assure a productive work environment and the comfort of all students, auditing is not permitted.
How is the EAMA Summer Music Institute different from the online Academy?
The Summer Institute, now in its 29th year, offers an intensive 4-week in-person program in Paris steeped in the Nadia Boulanger tradition for composers, film scorers, conductors, chamber musicians and theorists.
The Academy was developed in response to the demand of our students to continue their work on the fundamental crafts of musicianship throughout the academic year. Here, students choose courses that run in 13-week semesters, Fall and Spring.
How are the Summer Institute and Academy courses integrated? If I have completed level 1 at the Academy what level will I be placed in at the Institute?
Each student will receive a brief placement interview prior to the commencement of classes to assure continuity in mastery of the crafts. We offer several different levels of each class to best challenge each student. Academy levels and Summer Institute levels are not related.
