Course structure
You choose your own study subject which means that you determine yourself what and how you want to study with us. We call this your study plan. From your personal study plan, you work towards the final exam; the lecture recital. We give you the space to realise your ambitions, ideas and goals. You are free to present your lecture recital in any way depending on your own interests, competencies and qualities. Of course, you are taught by our own renowned teachers.
Additionally, you work together with international guest teachers during several periods during the years. Ensemble and orchestra performances are a crucial part of the master's programme. From your own playing, you have the opportunity to experiment with chamber Music, you deepen your playing skills during the Intensive Master Weeks or you can research your own musical practice.
You can choose different optional modules within the Open Credits. You choose these based on your personal goals and competencies and fitting your study plan. The complete study programme is aimed at further development of a curious and innovative professional attitude, which helps you to react more focused on the developments within and outside of the professional field.
You carry out practice-based research in order to become a better musician. The research is directly related to your personal study plan. Your research is linked to individual, content-based and methodological coaching. Your research eventually leads to a presentation which is directly linked to your musical practice.
