Music pre-Master - part-time - Zwolle

Programme per year

The Music Pre-Master programme offers you the opportunity to prepare yourself best for master's-level study in music. Your programme is tailored to your experience and needs. You will take major classes in which you will develop your skills further on your own instrument. In addition, you will participate in Performance Lab together with the other Master's students. If you wish, you may also be involved in projects in the Bachelor's programme in Music. In addition to the basic programme, you have the option to purchase extra major classes (or additional classes) through contract study. These classes are taught by lecturers from the ArtEZ Academy of Music in Zwolle.

For wind, string and vocal students

  • 20 hours of major lessons
  • 4 hours of piano coaching
  • Participation in the Performance Lab (1st and possibly 2nd semester, on Tuesdays)
  • Participation in bachelor's projects, such as:
    • the ArtEZ String Ensemble
    • main subject-related group lessons

    • the Muziek van NU project

       

You will coordinate the distribution of lessons with your teachers directly (for example, shorter but more lessons). You can also take additional lessons for a fee.
 

You can organise your lessons in different ways:

  • Standard package: 20 hours of major lessons + 4 hours of piano coaching.
  • Alternative: 26.5 lessons of 45 minutes + 8 piano coaching lessons of 30 minutes.
  • Extension: 26 hours of major lessons instead of 20 hours, plus 4 hours of piano coaching.
     

If you would like to organise your lessons this way, please get in touch with the Head of Master of Music, Annemarie Reitsma, by email.
 

You can also book extra lessons:

  • Major lesson (60 minutes) – €60
  • Piano coaching/accompaniment lesson (30 minutes) – €40

For other instruments

  • 26 hours of major lessons
  • Participation in Performance Lab
  • Participation in the bachelor projects, such as ensembles, group lessons, and the Muziek van NU project

 

Here too, you and your teacher will decide together how the lessons will be spread out over the academic year. The standard package consists of 26 hours of major lessons. Together with your teacher, you can adjust the distribution of these lessons.


For example, instead of 26 lessons of 60 minutes, you could also opt for more lessons of 45 minutes. This means you will have lessons more often, but they will be slightly shorter.
