The goal is to achieve a level of technical and artistic qualification that enables the student to perform competently in a competitive public as an independent instrumentalist, to continually add something new to music, and – on the basis of his or her own ability – to continually participate and develop in the global discourse as an independent partner. Therein lie innumerable individual possibilities for which the study program lays a foundation that can be built upon. Based on professional mastery of the main instrument, the musical qualifications taught include stylistic confidence in the various genres, soloistic expressiveness, openness to and inspiration by music (also from other cultures), self-management and marketing, the ability to use musical know-how in the professional music scene; for jazz and popular music, additional improvisational versatility as well as mastery of technology and software for music production and live equipment.
The goal of the study is the musically comprehensively educated professional musician, who has a variety of qualifications of an artistic nature adapted to the professional reality. In addition to the technical/artistic competence to be achieved on the instrument, the students are encouraged along the lines of their individual talents and with regard to a high degree of communication skills and social competence.
The aim of this degree program is to offer performing artists in the fields of acting, singing and dancing a practice-oriented and academically sound professional training up to stage maturity. In addition, the opportunity is offered to develop expertise in the field of musical theater production (direction, dramaturgy, choreography, composition and book, etc.). This should enable graduates to cope with the diverse demands of the music theater business, both nationally and internationally. To this end, they will possess practice-oriented and social skills that are essential for ensemble work, as well as communicative and organizational skills. Artistic curiosity and aesthetic imagination are the driving force for the development of own creative productions.
