WORLD MUSIC

The first two semesters lay the foundation for the programme. The basics of traditional and western music are imparted in practice-oriented courses as well as in the areas of instrumental and project work (studio, ensemble, stage). Business basics are also taught.

In the four-semester main study period, practice-oriented skills, which are decisive for working in the professional field of world music, are acquired in projects and an internship.

In addition to musical or artistic content, the training also provides competencies in the field of music business and illuminates the cultural background and current trends in world music.
