Pauline Egan, Composer, EAMA 2023

“The faculty are immensely devoted and talented and I was blessed to learn from them.
The EAMA Summer Institute in France challenged me in ways I didn’t know I needed to be… and gave me new-found energy and motivation to build my career in music composition and film scoring.”

John Piscitello, Composer, EAMA, 2010, 2012, 2020-23

“EAMA is an invaluable experience, and I still study the methods I learned there today and everyday. “

Robert O’Connor, Composer, EAMA 2016, 2020

“EAMA is a music “boot camp” in the best sense of the term. It formed me and my fellow students into the most capable musicians we could be. The faculty are real mentors to us, and generously championed our individual voices and styles. Being so rigorously immersed in the pedagogy of Nadia Boulanger, and having four full weeks to absorb it all in the middle of Paris… it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

“EAMA has become a powerful motivator for me to continue striving for excellence.”

Lawrence Suh, Composer, EAMA 2017, 2019

“This was my second time attending the program and I feel I’ve gained as much, if not more this time around, and I know that I have grown significantly as a musician…The training we receive at EAMA with focus on strengthening understanding of voice leading and counterpoint is truly unique and I believe it is a great asset to musicians of any discipline.“

Sam Stanley, Composer, EAMA 2019

“At EAMA, I learned more about music than I ever could have hoped. The level of instruction is unparalleled to anything else I have experienced. In addition to the courses, the masterclasses, concerts, and lessons compound to create an absolutely incredible institute…To say I am thankful for my time at EAMA is an understatement. I was brought closer to the tradition of Nadia Boulanger and the French tradition as a whole. It has been an invaluable experience for my development as a composer, musician, and young adult.“
