RAMA Vocal Center at The Royal Academy of Music in Denmark - a Greenhouse for innovative jazz/pop choir directing with an international reputation

How do you make vocal music sound just ‘right’ when it comes to styles such as pop, rock, jazz, gospel, world, improvisation, and vocal painting?

Jazz/Pop Choir studies at the European Voices Award-winning RAMA Vocal Center provide the answers to meet this challenge. Students from across the world come to assemble an international recognized teacher team, ensuring the highest pedagogical and artistic level of all.

You will learn directly from the creators of The Intelligent Choir philosophy & Vocal Painting, Singers’ Practice, Conductors’ Toolbox, Arranging & Composing Tools, and minor subjects like voice, piano, ear training, move & groove, beatboxing and concert design.
