This is the only way your inspiration can bring the musical essence of a work to life for the audience.

Composition: You will study music theory, music history and music aesthetics in depth. In the intensive examination of existing compositions, you will find your own distinctive musical language and mature into an individual compositional personality.

Music theory: You will acquire a profound knowledge of style through intensive theory of composition and aural training, theory of form, work analysis and other musicological lectures and exercises.
