Musical Arts Madrid

Musical Arts Madrid (MAM) is a modern music college located in the vibrant capital of Spain, created in the 21st century for the musicians of today. We’re a brand new music college that is bringing together the most distinguished professors from around the world. Past students of our faculty hold principal seats in orchestras all over the globe.

Our world-class faculty roster and our primary focus on career advancement make the Musical Arts Madrid experience one where you will be exposed to the needs of both the American and the European labor markets, in a unique environment around what we call Globalized Learning.

Musical Arts Madrid is focused on blending together New World and Old World musical traditions into the student’s experience. This singularity occurs through a new concept: Team Tutoring, which, combined with Globalized Learning, means that some studios will offer a team of two or more professors, each undertaking a tutor role towards the student. At the same time, we also maintain the possibility of choosing to study with a specific professor, which can have a deeper impact on students with less maturity.
