The Royal Conservatoire is a worldwide recognised school in all areas of the many musics of today: early, classical and contemporary music, opera, jazz, art of sound, sonology, composition (both instrumental/vocal and electronic) and teacher training. The programmes offered imply the bachelor phase, the advance study programmes (shortly to be accredited as master), and curricula for young talents. In the programmes on master level practice based research in music has been introduced, both as a support for the performance practice and as ‘experimentation’ itself, whereby the artistic product is the result of the research process.
The Royal Conservatoire has a standing tradition in cooperation, both in the country and abroad. In the Netherlands cooperation concentrates -through official contracts - on 3 institutions: Leiden University, in the Faculty of Creative and Performing Arts, Prince Claus Conservatoire Groningen (professorships, joint curricula, quality assessment procedures) and Conservatory of Amsterdam, in The New Opera Academy and the Support Scheme for the highly talented musicians. The Royal Conservatoire is connected with important Dutch musical institutions such as The National Opera, the Concertgebouw, the major professional orchestras, ensembles and choirs, as well as infrastructural and intermediary organisations. The Royal Conservatoire is an internationally operating organisation sui generis; 65% of the student’s population comes from abroad (more than 50 different countries).
