There are some very good colleges and conservatories in the States, but I strongly recommend very gifted performers to receive training in Europe. It doesn’t mean that I think the level of the training is lower here though; it is just that in Europe they have institutions with hundreds of years of tradition in music training and also the centre of classical music is there!!! Europe lives the classical music and you can feel that in the streets!!!

To name a few conservatories in Europe:
Sibelius Academy, Finland
Conservatoire de Paris, France
Royal Academy of Music, London
Escula Superior de Musica Reina Sofia, Madrid
Universität der Künste, Berlin
University Mozarteum, Salzburg
Hochschule für Musik und Theater, München
Royal College of Music, London

I was born in Martinica and I have studied at Juilliad in NY and in Berlin. Believe me: nothing compared to the experience of studying in Europe. There I learnt to live and love classical music!
