General information
Students in possession of a Bachelor’s degree in Music can enter the Music Master’s course in New Audiences and Innovative Practice. The course is a two-year joint master enabling students to develop and lead creative projects in diverse artistic, community and cross-sectoral settings. The goal is to create and/or reach new audiences and develop leadership skills in varied artistic and social contexts.
The programme is designed to meet contemporary demands of the international music practice and therefore combines studying at one’s home institution with studying at a partner institution abroad. Students can specialise in three areas: Ensembles, Collaborative practice and Cross-sector settings.
General
All subject areas are underpinned by improvisation, technology and leadership in different contexts. The master also includes an ongoing mentoring process.
One of the main goals within the educational programme is to teach students to be enterprising, thus encouraging them to develop their own direction in professional practice.
Studying at home and abroad
The master programme is divided into four semesters. The first semester and the third and fourth semester will be spent mainly at the home institution. The focus during the first semester will be on orientation, the acquirement of important skills and competencies and developing one’s personal pathway. The second semester will be spent abroad at one of the partner institutions and will suit individual students’ personal needs in relation to his/her specialization. The third and fourth semester aim at the professional integration of the student.
At the beginning and the end of the master's programme an intensive week is scheduled for all students, at a rotating basis at one of the home institutions. The first intensive week will take place in August 2010, at the end of the first year of the programme.
