Joint Music Master


The joint master ‘Music Masters for New Audiences and Innovative Practice’ will be the first joint master in Europe in the field of music to be developed within the framework of the Erasmus programme.
The master will provide future professional musicians with the skills and knowledge to become artistically flexible practitioners able to adjust to new contexts within a wide range of situations of societal relevance. Students will learn to develop and lead creative projects in diverse artistic, community and cross-sectoral settings, thereby creating new audiences and developing their leadership skills in varied artistic and social contexts. Specialisation is possible in three areas: Ensembles, Collaborative Practice and Cross-sector Settings.
Five higher music education institutions from four different European countries have participated in creating a new and innovative educational programme. Furthermore seven external professional and educational organizations coming from the four European countries were also engaged in the development.
The master has received funding from the European Union and was piloted in the academic year 2008/2009.
