Early Music (M.M., KPA)

The Master's programme is designed for students who have already completed a basic degree (Bachelor's or comparable training) in Early Music and are interested in further artistic and educational qualifications. Students who have not yet acquired a professional focus in the field of elementary music pedagogy or instrumental and vocal pedagogy in their basic studies will acquire the central qualifications of the basic studies as well as the artistic skills that build on them in the “supplementary” module during the first year of the programme. On the other hand, students with a specialised pedagogical qualification deepen their instrumental or vocal pedagogical skills by acquiring the teaching qualifications for working with aspiring professionals in the “in-depth” sub-module. The second year of the programme is focussed on acquiring university didactic qualifications.

The lecturers in the field of music are renowned musicians who perform in concert halls around the world. A close and co-operative exchange between students and teachers is of central importance in the field of music.
