Organ/Church Music

About this programme

The advanced postgraduate diploma programme focusses on interpretation and musical contemplation with a view to developing soloist competences and stage skills at the highest international artistic level. In addition to instrumental/vocal teaching and participation in international masterclasses and possible international competitions, the programme also seeks to develop the students’ chamber music skills. Students of church music at SDMK receive teaching in both organ, choir conducting and theory (main subjects) and specialised subjects related to their individual main instruments. During the individual teaching the main subject teacher will focus on musical and technical issues. In addition, a series of general courses will give you a theoretical foundation and help you look at music from different angles than the performing one, just as students at the programme will be introduced to administrative and PR-related aspects of working as a musician. The organ group cooperates on concerts, study trips etc.
