About the Conservatoire
Your professional practice as an artist is our main focus, and that can be realised through our integrated learning system. An expert team of teachers/coaches will provide supervision and assessment throughout your study. Under our guidance you manage your personal study route, as worked out in your study plan.
The curriculum is built around the three main courses:
These three courses together form your principle study, which is called Professional Practice. The development of your own professional practice will be the basis of your study within these courses. For Classical Music, New York Jazz and New Audiences & Innovative Practice there are specific subjects.
In addition, we offer Open Modules, which allow you to shape or broaden your principle study. These may be classes within your study route, classes from other study routes, projects of your own design, or extramural activities. Furthermore, there is a mentoring programme to guide you in the practical and philosophical aspects of reflecting on the progress and direction of your principle study.
A student's superior musical and performative competence is rooted on knowledge of technical and interpretative skills in music. These serve as a basis for their capacity to perform as an ensemble musician, soloist, artistic collaborator, creator or leader. Each student determines his or her own specific area of professional development, as a singer or an instrumentalist, as a composer, improviser, arranger, leader, or conductor.
The Master of Music programme promotes artistic performance within a spectrum of forms, contexts and media. Students develop a strong sense of artistic identity which reflects their awareness of past and current developments in music, other arts disciplines and society.
The Master of Music programme is the sequel to the Bachelor of Music, both nationally and internationally. Target groups for admission are recently graduated Dutch and international Bachelor of Music students. The Master of Music programme may also be interesting for candidates who have been working in the professional field for several years.
All candidates must have convincing musical and artistic capacities, a study attitude that is inquisitive and open-minded, investigative and innovative, independent and reflective, and professional and intellectual capacities on the level of higher education. Please check the general info application and entry requirements of Hanze UAS.
In addition, candidates want to make an active contribution to the further development of professional practice and want to delve into the meaning of music practice for society.
