Midi School of Music 北京迷迪音乐学校

While the Midi School of Modern Music may not be the most conveniently located of Beijing's schools, its setting - in the shadows of Xiangshan - makes it just about the prettiest campus in town. Midi has a two-year full time program - taught primarily in Chinese - and boasts teachers from Beijing and beyond who train the next generation of musicians in styles ranging from jazz and Latin to rock and blues. The school draws a host of talented international artists to host workshops and master classes. A new partnership with the North Melbourne Institute of TAFE means that Midi grads will also get Aussie certification. Tuition RMB 11,000.
