The Bachelor's degree course in Artistic Music Studies consists of five curricula: orchestral instruments, piano/guitar, organ, historical instruments and conducting. Successful completion of the course provides a basic qualification for all relevant activities in the instrumental-artistic and instrumental-pedagogical or conducting fields.
Study objectives
The aim of the course is to provide instrumentalists with a fundamental and professionally qualifying artistic education. On the basis of in-depth instrumental, stylistic and musical skills, students learn to formulate their own artistic statements, develop a broad repertoire, act with increasing confidence in the stage and performance context and develop techniques for working independently. In the context of ensembles, they contribute their skills and learn to adapt their role appropriately and variably. They can reflect on instrumental issues and artistic subjects and verbalize their thoughts.
Selectable specializations
- Instrumental pedagogy (14 CP in the elective area + 14 CP from the compulsory area)
- Historical interpretation practice (18 CP in the elective area + 10 CP from the compulsory area)
- Chamber music (16 CP from the elective area + 12 CP from the compulsory area)
Specializations include content and courses from different module areas.

Study objectives
The aim of the degree course with conducting (orchestral conducting / choral conducting) as a major subject is to provide thorough and professionally qualifying artistic training for conductors. Students learn to develop independent, reflective and meaningful interpretations on the basis of their in-depth specialist knowledge and stylistic knowledge of different genres and epochs. They develop a precise conducting and percussion technique as well as a stylistically differentiated and expressive body language. Students assume responsibility, acquire analytical and organizational skills and learn to communicate and implement their musical ideas in a clear, efficient, contemporary and pedagogically and psychologically skilful manner when working with ensembles of different sizes and levels.
Close to the professional field and interdisciplinary
Interdisciplinary work is explicitly promoted through project and course offerings. Contact with a wide range of professional fields is ensured at an early stage through courses and the possible integration of internships. Intensive personal supervision by artistically and academically active teaching staff and a wide range of projects and collaborations characterize the students' education as well as the high quality of teaching at the university, which is ensured by continuous reflection.
Broad foundation and individual focus
In all curricula, students acquire basic pedagogical and didactic knowledge and gain experience in various teaching constellations. They develop differentiated musical listening skills, analytical skills and knowledge of musicological methods and fundamentals and link these with the artistic subjects. Through the elective area, students shape their individual artistic profile, which, with the help of possible specializations, can also lead to specialized Master's degree courses or directly into specific professional fields.
