Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music is comprehensive contemporary music education in India but is also a great alternative to colleges in USA, Europe and elsewhere for musicians around the world to come and soak in a truly Indian and yet global learning experience at a significantly lower cost. SAM is a quintessential globalmusic school. At SAM, learning happens 24 hours. To find an impromptu Clave-meets-Carnatic or Samba-meets-Kopanitsa jam sessions on tables with knives, spoons and forks in our dining room at any time of the day is part of everyday life here. All students, staff and faculty live in the apartment complex next to the main campus and dine in our gourmet multi-cuisine facility. The access our students get every day in a focused environment for months together with our world class faculty in it makes it a transformational learning experience.
