You love music, especially pop music, and you’d rather be making it yourself than just listening to it. You want to perform on stage, record your own album, organise concerts or festivals and maybe even start your own music business. If this sounds like you, you will be able to turn your dreams of becoming a professional pop musician into reality at the ArtEZ Academy of Pop Music.
Pop musician, entrepreneur, tour or band manager or music teacher – with an Academy of Pop Music degree, you will have countless career opportunities. You will discover your strengths and learn how to use them to build a career that fits you.
Your musicality is your foundation. You will receive both individual and group lessons on your main instrument, learning to play at a professional level and across different musical styles. You will also work together in a band, developing into a versatile, adaptable and confident pop musician.
You will gain plenty of real-world experience during your studies. Every year, students help to organise the Booster Festival, and the ArtEZ Academy of Music has its own showcase at Eurosonic Noorderslag. You will also collaborate with music venues and cultural organisations across the Netherlands. By the time you graduate, you will know the world of pop music inside and out.
