Early Music (M.M., KA extended)

The degree programme for an “extended” Master invites at applicants who have completed a degree (Bachelor’s, Master’s or comparable degree) without specialising in Early Music or historically informed performance practice. In a special supplementary module, the curriculum therefore offers a range of subjects tailored to the individual entry requirements of each student, in which practical, theoretical and scientific basic knowledge of the music of earlier eras can be acquired. Participation in the numerous specialised ensembles for early music at the University of the Arts is a special feature of the course, which prepares students for later professional activities in orchestras and ensembles. Regular projects with internationally renowned guest lecturers round complete the programme.

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.
