History
The idea of founding an Estonian establishment of musical education emerged on the eve of World War I. It began in the form of a mixed choir of the Estonian Society Musical Department (EMD). The assembly of the Estonia Society then decided on November 17, 1918, to create the Tallinn Higher Music School, the opening ceremony of which took place on September 28, 1919, in the Estonia Concert Hall.

The Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre is an educational, cultural and scientific research establishment which provides the option of studying in the Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral programme in the study field of arts, as well as the field of teacher training and educational sciences.
Research

Student Reviews
Contemporary performance - intensity & creation
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
I was a part of the first generation of CPPM (Contemporary Physical Performance Making) at Estonian Academy of Music and Theater. The course was super intensive - we worked with many guest artists and it was great to work with them in a way that we did, as we were the part of their company. It allowed us to completely embrace their artistic practice. It required openness...

Everything is great, of course nothing is perfect, but if you think relatively, such an experience... Facilities, most of the teachers, attentiveness to the students requests, good price adn living conditions, supportive institution... I will miss it A LOT. 100% recommended.
