Master of Music

The ArtEZ Master of Music Course is connected to the Music Bachelor’s and offers students an optimally structured follow-up study. ArtEZ strives to help talented, broadly oriented and highly individual students to find their way in a varied professional practice. As based on the vision of ArtEZ School of Music, the Music Master’s focuses on (per)forming identity where young musicians will develop their own impression of the diverse and complex field of music. Confrontations with various aspects of professional practice will help them to formulate their own vision and to define their personal position within a number of relevant professional fields. Once you have passed your degree, you will have the right to use the internationally recognised Master of Music title.

During this two-year course, ArtEZ School of Music confronts its Master’s students with a number of areas of professional practice that affect all musicians or that they at least need to be aware of. In this way, students are given an opportunity to discover facets of themselves, which they had not been previously familiar with, and to choose a profile that reflects their personal qualities and potential. This concerns not only the continued development of an artistic identity but also aspects such as education, stage presentation, communication, music programming, media wisdom, knowledge of the musical infrastructure, project management and working together in groups. In terms of developing your artistic identity, as a student you will be able to opt either for greater depth within your existing genre or for making excursions outside of your field and forging links with other genres and disciplines. In short, it’s all about (per)forming identity.
