Our approach

OAcademy is different from other top music conservatories.

We use technology to connect emerging artists – wherever they are – to star faculty at the forefront of the music world.

We combine an immersive digital curriculum with short in-person retreats and residency opportunities across the globe.

The learning journey is fast-paced and responsive – relevant for day-to-day success and long-term impact, on-stage and beyond.

“OAcademy uses technology to open doors”

Our Faculty

Winning today’s top artist jobs and using these to give back to society means learning from those who know how. 

In most conservatories, the learning experience is guided by tenured lecturers whose career impact doesn’t extend beyond practice room walls.

At OAcademy, a dynamic network of global mentors, music sector leaders, and visionary coaches guide the hands-on journey for fellows.
