Course Concept
Training to become a Musical Performer - Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) / Master of Arts (M.A.)
Approach
Training for this demanding profession requires intensive full-time classes. The artistic core subjects (except dance) are taught in individual and group classes, while the other classes are usually held in small groups (usually 8-10 students). The select teaching team consists of experienced and successful specialists in the field. Workshops with competent, often well-known instructors and practical stage projects are also held. Through cooperating with established directors and choreographers, these prepare students to enter the profession.
