Master of Music

The Royal Conservatoire aims to educate master students who can fulfil a leading role in the (inter)national professional field. The educational philosophy of the Master of Music programme focuses on developing an individual artistic vision, personal growth, an inquisitive attitude, entrepreneurship and independence, as well as developing the students’ instrumental and technical skills at a high qualitative level. We want our alumni to be excellent professionals who can reflect on their role in society and know how to collaborate and navigate the complex realities of today’s and tomorrow’s music profession.

In the Master of Music programme, students have the unique opportunity to create a Master Project with their own future in mind. The Master Project combines the three domains of our master curriculum: artistic development, research and professional integration. As part of the curriculum, students will receive individual and group lessons in their main subject in support of their artistic development, conduct research on a topic of their own choice, and design and initiate professional integration activities. To help develop the Master Project successfully, students will receive guidance from their instrumental/vocal teacher, research supervisor, professional integration coach and master circle leader.
