Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music Information

Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music (SAM) is the first professional college of music in India to offer a range of programs in contemporary music that includes various genres like Rock, Jazz, Classical and World music. With Voice, Guitar, Piano, Bass, Drums and Indian Percussion performance as its focus, S.A.M. commenced its first 6 month diploma certificate program in July 2010. As we complete 5 years in 2015, we are now a fully residential facility set in a sprawling 4 acre campus in lush green surroundings at Marg Swarnabhoomi (80 kms from Chennai.) SAM has world class international faculty and top of the line facilities comparable to the best in the world. SAM's innovative curriculum gives musicians a distinctive edge and a multi-cultural musical vocabulary preparing them for exciting careers in a broad spectrum of 21st century music. SAM not only satisfies the long-felt need for a comprehensive contemporary music education in India but is also a great alternative to colleges in US or Europe for musicians to come and soak in a truly Indian and yet global learning experience at a significantly lower cost.
