Contemporary Music, Basel Academy of Music

Thinking of choosing a specialisation or Music Pedagogy as a second master’s degree? Why not both? Students who have already completed a master’s degree in Performance, instrument/voice have the opportunity to combine their artistic specialisation in the field of Contemporary Music with a teaching qualification for their own instrument as part of an MA in Music Pedagogy. This dual profile expands your professional opportunities considerably: you develop a wide repertoire of performance skills in the implementation of contemporary music and teaching skills with your instrument/voice.

Creative interpretation of new music in the context of sonic space basel: composition, contemporary performance, open creation, audio design and new music theory are brought together here. Collaborations with the beacons of the international new music scene in the context of more than 50 public performances each year guarantee innovation, artistic excellence and a high level of networking opportunities. The work structure is modular, diverse and collaborative.
