Classical Musician

Studies in the Classical Musician specialisation give you the opportunity to develop your artistic abilities and identity in different musical and artistic constellations.

The specialisation is intended to develop your instrumental/vocal craftsmanship and your personal artistic profile. The focus is on your main instrument, but you will also participate in study activities involving other students. You can also supplement your program of study through electives and supplementary courses. Orchestral instrument and voice students have access to competent rehearsal pianists. Our students are offered generous lesson time with their principal teachers. Throughout the programme, individual instruction is interspersed with group lessons, internal and external concerts, and various orchestral and ensemble projects.

The programme includes three main perspectives:

1. Musical profile (instrument/vocals, ensemble).
2. The craft of music (music theory, keyboard harmony, ensemble conducting, introduction to music business, and survey of related arts).
3. Music and society, research process, and degree project.

The programme provides you with a good foundation for further studies at the Master's level (60 credit or 120 credit programme) or a supplementary teacher education programme. Our teachers have extensive teaching experience, and several are active both nationally and internationally as musicians, composers or conductors.
