Guitar | Classical specialisation

The Master's Programme in Music with a specialisation in classical guitar is a two-year full-time university programme. It is aimed at those who have a Bachelor's degree and want to work as a professional guitarist in today's multifaceted music world. 

You will be given the opportunity to further develop your technical and artistic skills, both as a soloist and in ensembles with other guitarists and instrumentalists. The aim is for you to develop your own artistic expression and to become an independent artist.

The programme includes:

• Instrumental studies
  You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in your main instrument under the guidance of experienced teachers. Through regular individual lessons, masterclasses and joint lessons, you develop both technical skills and your artistic expression.
   
• Chamber music
  A central part of the education is chamber music, where you get the opportunity to play together with other students in smaller ensembles and develop your musical sensitivity and your communication skills.
   
• Project
  In the project course, you work thematically with instrument-related topics that do not fit within the other courses. Examples of subjects included in the course (the content varies from term to term) are ensemble playing, arranging, instrumental technique, practice methodology, repertoire knowledge, etc.
   
• Music as a profession
  The course 'Music as a Profession' will give you a thorough insight into the professional aspects of the music industry while preparing you for a career as a musician.
   
• Degree project (performance and reflective part)
  The performance part (exam concert) constitutes 75% of your degree project. In the exam concert, your artistic and technical expressiveness is made visible. The reflective part makes up 25% of your thesis. The work is based on your own artistic practice and presented in a format of your choice: written format, live format or pre-recorded format.
