Basic information
The three-year Bachelor’s degree programme in Organ Playing and Sacred Music assumes that the applicant has studied previously, usually at a conservatory or music college. Private study is not excluded. A student who demonstrates a high degree of talent, reliability as a player, musical imagination, and the ability to sonically represent (register) the pieces performed is admitted to this program.
The admission process in the Organ Performance specialisation does not include an examination in organ improvisation, but such ability is highly appreciated as a great asset for later practice.
During the admission process, applicants also take a test to demonstrate their knowledge and insight into the cultural field.
