About the programme

As an organ player, you learn to use the many possibilities the instrument puts in your hands and feet, so you can be the heart, brain and soul of the organ.

In addition to organ lessons, the programme consists of a number of subjects that give you a solid theoretical foundation and teaches you to look at music from other perspectives than the purely performing one, just as you will be introduced to the administrative and PR aspects of a musician's work during the course.

Finally, DNA of Music also has a strong focus on musicians' health, so you will learn to take care of yourself and avoid unnecessary injuries and challenges.

Schedule

Your schedule will vary from week to week throughout the year. Some subjects are only available for limited periods during the year, while other subjects are available all year round. In addition to the scheduled classes, you should plan to set aside time for practice and unscheduled study activities such as master classes and workshops.
Below is an example of what a schedule might look like in a random week during the year.

FAQ

Typical questions and practical info

Conservatory education in Denmark consists of a 3-year bachelor's degree, a 2-year master's degree and an additional 2-year soloist program.

Admission to the bachelor's program is based solely on how well you pass the entrance exams, so in principle anyone can apply, as no special educational background is required.

The entrance exams require you to demonstrate your skills on your main instrument/vocal and test you in a number of general subjects such as theory and ear training.
