Classical music is a lot more respected in Europe and the funding is therefore a lot better.

Go for Europe.

Germany is one of the best countries and they speak very good English usually.

Not as good English as in the Netherlands and Scandinavia perhaos but Germany is a better country for classical music.

France is propably best if you are into Avantgarde and serial music.

I decided to go to America to study after my bachelor in Stockholm, even though there are many good options here in Europe. As some people mentioned England and Germany are great options but I decided to go to the US because the universities are much bigger and I went to one of the bigger ones. The faculty in my school was very variated. Americans of course, Europeans, Russians, Asians etc. You had a chance to see differences between the different teaching techniques from attending their masterclasses and going to their students recitals. As far as I know there are not many American professors teaching in Europe. I do not regret going to the states for my studies. It was great...
