Church Music B
The degree programme is designed for candidate students with prior distinct and broad musical practice and theoretical training who wish to pursue a career as a church musician.
Study focus centres on the two ‘major subject module strings’ encompassing keyboard-specific content (major subject 1) and the conducting and vocal content (major subject 2). The accompanying church music modules provide for the mediation of church-service-relevant content. As of the fifth semester students select a profile.
Graduates are qualified to take up a position as a church musician (B) or gain admission to a Master’s degree, for example, in church music (A) or the organ.
The respective profiles with a targeted focus on the professional field offer the opportunity for students to centre their studies accordingly. Three profiles have been specifically created for this degree programme:
