Programme content Classical Music, B. Mus.

Experience music in all its diversity

Our 7-semester Bachelor's degree in Classical Music focuses on your personal development as a musician. You will work intensively on technique, expression and interpretation - whether on stage, in the rehearsal room or in lessons. You will be accompanied by in-depth content in music theory, history and pedagogy, which will give you a deep understanding of musical contexts. The aim is to strengthen you artistically and professionally so that you develop into a versatile and expressive musical personality - ready for the professional path.

The focus of your studies is on intensive artistic work - be it on your instrument or with your voice. You will explore classical and contemporary musical styles, expand your repertoire and refine your technique. In this way, you will develop your own personal musical expression.

Your studies will accompany you on the path to becoming a holistic musical personality. In addition to intensive work on your main subject, you will study subjects such as ensemble and chamber music, speech training, sight-singing, music theory, music history, ear training and aesthetics. You will learn to understand and interpret musical works and place them in their cultural context. Practice plays a central role: you gain experience on stage - at concerts, recitals or musical theater productions - and implement your own artistic projects. You will not only strengthen your expressiveness, but also your organizational skills. We also teach you skills in music mediation and music education so that you can pass on your knowledge and enthusiasm later on. In this way, you will be optimally prepared for a versatile musical career.
