Keyboard Studies

Overview

Pianists, organists and harpsichordists who want to shine on the international concert stage must demonstrate flawless technical mastery of their instrument and a deep knowledge of the repertoire. The top priority at the Department of Keyboard Studies is to provide students with the best possible preparation for a career as an instrumentalist. If they wish, students can also specialise in chamber music, Lied interpretation, applied piano skills, fortepiano or piano pedagogy.

Ensemble scholarship: A (one-year) Start Up for Ensemble(s)

Establishing and developing the profile of an ensemble is one of the most demanding and, at the same time, most appealing challenges in artistic development. Many globally successful ensembles were formed during their studies, laying the foundation for an international chamber music career. However, existing study programmes alone can only provide limited incentives and framework conditions for this. The ensemble scholarship is the answer to this: convincing project proposals receive financial support for a period of one year to realise specific artistic projects.
