Academic Courses - Music Abroad Programs

Teaching music is something that AEF is particularly proud of, since it is the first and only music school of high vocational level for foreigners in Florence. Students have the opportunity to be taught by experienced professionals coming from the most important academies of music, theatres and festivals in Italy and Europe.
The courses include lectures and practical lessons and are designed to introduce students to music disciplines or to further improve their skills in the field.

The high quality standards of the music curricula have led AEF to develop an established and long-term collaboration with some of the most prestigious universities and institutions in the field.

These include:
Cincinnati University (Conservatory College of Music)

Washington University

Metropolitan Opera in New York, which has chosen AEF as the venue for its Mock Auditions.
