American School of Modern Music

The American School of Modern Music, located in Paris, France, is a private post-secondary institution offering high-level music education.

About

From its creation in 1982 by the American drummer Stephen Carbonara to this day, The American School of Modern Music is an internationally oriented school that has always trained a high percentage of foreign students. In addition to its ties with the United States, the school has built its reputation on the exceptional level of its teaching staff, the quality of its graduates and their international presence in all areas of music: musicians, singers, arrangers, composers, engineers, producers, teachers and other music professionals (see former students below).

The American School of Modern Music is affiliated with two international associations, IASJ : International Association of School Jazz and the JEN : Jazz Education Network.

The school offers three different majors during the final year of study: Performance Major for students who wish to focus on their instrument, Arranging and Composition Major, and Production & Music Technology Major. It is also possible to combine different Majors (Double Major).

gollark: That would wipe all deleted items and quite possibly break the bot's database migration logic.

gollark: You could do something like `DELETE FROM deleted_items WHERE id = [whatever]`, though obviously that would require finding the ID..

gollark: It uses SQLite3.

gollark: The only way to undelete things would be to remove the row storing their deletion record from the AutoBotRobot database, and only I and [REDACTED] have that access.

gollark: No.
