Beats & Rhymes

Beats & Rhymes

Within the major Beats & Rhymes there is a strong emphasis on creating, producing, recording and publishing. You work on your own profile as an artist and/or producer, build a relevant network and graduate with a product.

Based on your personal development plan, we determine the order in which you will work on your learning objectives during your main subject lessons. Depending on your profile, you will also follow components within the ArtEZ MediaMusic study program and work closely with other artists and producers, both within and outside ArtEZ.

Your teachers are leading within the industry and can tell you from practice how you can optimally improve yourself. Guest lecturers come along for special parts.
