Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music (SAM) is about 80 km south of the coastal metropolis of Chennai. SAM’s 4 acre campus is located in beautiful lush green surroundings where the soul of rural India shines. The breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, an awe inspiring night sky and a magical quietude provide a fitting backdrop for making creative music. In the centuries old traditional Indian gurukula system of learning for classical music, the student lives together with the teacher and acquires a much deeper educational experience that is as much learning about life as it is about music.

Blending this concept with a modern western educational system of learning and driven by a uniquely designed curriculum that focuses on true multiculturalism in music, SAM is a quintessential global music school. At SAM, learning happens 24 hours a day. To find an impromptu Clave-meets-Carnatic or Samba-meets-Kopanitsa jam session on tables with knives, spoons and forks in our dining room at any time of the day is part of everyday life here.

McNally Smith students can take a semester to study abroad at SAM (and vice versa for SAM students).

The Institute for Music and Media is a branch of the Robert Schumann School of Music and Media, located in Düsseldorf. On the western edge of Germany, Düsseldorf is a very modern city, know for its contemporary music, fine arts and fashion.This school is recommended for Technology and Production students. Students may work on projects for popular and classical music, recording, and multi-media projects. Students arrange, perform, and record pieces for their projects. Applied music and ensemble courses are offered as well as some music business courses.

The courses at Musikhochschule Lübeck and the Institute for Music and Media are taught in German.

It is very helpful to know some German when beginning studies there. However, other students have studied at these schools with little or no prior skills in German and done well, learning German while they are studying. Students can also take quickstudy courses in German in either of these cities before the semester begins.
