About the program
The programme focuses on your artistic personality through lessons in e.g. chamber music/ensemble singing, interdisciplinary collaboration projects, basic repertoire knowledge, stage performance, etc.
During the program, you will immerse yourself in classical music and the teaching will focus on your instrument/voice.

You will study music pedagogy, where you will learn how to teach and communicate music, and you will also learn how to create and launch your own projects through the entrepreneurship subjects.
