Description
The MA degree course in Specialized Music Performance is a demanding course, designed to prepare a limited number of students showing exceptional ability for artistic activities at the very highest level.
The skills sought during the selective admission procedures are of two types: a remarkable artistic personality and/or, depending on the major, the ability to undertake research leading to innovative musical practices.
A significant part of the programme of study is dedicated to training in the main discipline (as instrumentalist, singer or conductor). Specific training enables students to gain in-depth experience of performance in different ensemble types, such as orchestras or chamber music ensembles. Finally, the programme of study includes a reflective analysis of the practical aspects (research in seminars).
The two years of study lead to a Master's project designed around three axes: artistic production (recital), practical ensemble playing and reflective analysis.
Profiles
In addition to the classical music profile, available on all the campuses, there are also two specialist profiles:
- Jazz and contemporary music, at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne
- Ancient music, at the Haute école de musique de Genève.
