The FHNW Master of Arts in Specialised Music Performance Wind Orchestra Conducting is aimed at students with a Bachelor or Master’s degree in Music who wish to pursue a career as a wind orchestra, wind ensemble or brass band conductor. To be eligible for this graduate programme, prospective students must have previous instrument training. The programme prepares students for the challenging role of leading wind orchestras, both professional and amateur. Students acquire a comprehensive grounding in the art of conducting and its related disciplines, with a particular focus on honing their ability to communicate with clarity and precision to the performers their interpretation of the score.
Acquiring the art of musical leadership
When learning to conduct, hands-on training with an orchestra is an imperative. The FHNW Master of Arts in Specialised Music Performance with a Wind Orchestra Conducting Minor provides students with thorough instruction in the psychologically and technically challenging art of musical leadership, and opens up many different and exciting career opportunities to them in the fields of musical performance and education.
The combined master's program – Wind Orchestra Conducting and training in instrumental pedagogy
The Master of Arts in Music Pedagogy programme allows Students who already hold a master's degree in Musical Performance with an instrumental/vocal major to combine artistic specialization in Wind Orchestra Conducting and pedagogical training in their own instrument. This dual profile considerably expands their career opportunities.
You may apply between 15th December and 15th February.
