Encouragement of Talented Students
Direction: Andreas Weber
For the special personal development, advancement and support of highly gifted children and adolescents, in addition to the Pre-College, the University Mozarteum has its own Highly Gifted Program. The goal is the identification and individual, intensive, sustainable support of musically highly gifted children and adolescents and their development into artistically highly differentiated musical personalities.
The support includes events inside and outside the university, the preparation and accompaniment to international competitions, the cooperation with international festivals, the organization of international concert opportunities, the establishment of contacts to agencies and to comparable institutions as well as the documentation of the activities.
In addition to the artistic promotion of musically gifted children and adolescents, the focus is also on their adequate counseling and individually oriented accompanying research. The scientific work and publications focus on the areas of music-specific teaching and learning with regard to the development of musical competencies, personality development as well as artistic didactics and the specific support of musically gifted children and adolescents.
Students in the gifted program are selected in a separate selection process.
Prerequisites for admission to the gifted program are at least two completed semesters of study at the Pre-College and the completion of a separate admission examination. Students in the gifted program remain students of the Pre-College.
