ArtEZ Academy of Music

Study at ArtEZ

The ArtEZ Academy of Music is spread out over three locations, what's making it cosy and small-scale. There is plenty of personal attention and communication lines are short. Each location has an entirely unique atmosphere, one that’s often reflected in the music! At the same time, you will fully benefit from the facilities and opportunities of a large conservatory. These include the significant number of master classes from national and international guest lecturers, and playing in a band or orchestra in collaboration with students from other locations.

Music & Health

Ambitious musicians want to play until they drop, but we’d rather take that as a metaphor. This is why we strongly emphasise mental and physical wellbeing in our curriculum. You will want to play your instrument in a healthy way and continue doing this into old age. Knowing the function of body and mind allows you to collaborate more easily with other musicians and to better connect to your audience. You will be able to teach your future students how to stay healthy while playing their instrument as well.

The Skillslab Music & Health offers several classes in small groups – you learn to study efficiently, deal with matters like focus, goals and nerves, as well as how to be present and to present your music on stage. We teach you to care for your voice and ears, and to work with your instrument in a healthy way in order to prevent injuries related to your musicianship.

For individual advice, you can visit the Music&Health reception. Here, we can answer questions or complaints relating to your mental or physical wellbeing. If necessary, we can also refer you to internal or external health professionals.

These collaborations are focused on joint projects and festivals, but also the exchange of lecturers and students and the quality of the music education itself.
