diploma studies composition // music theory
u n d e r g r a d u a t e p h a s e
(4 semesters)
The first part of the composition / music theory degree programme provides students with basic knowledge in the areas of composition, harmony, aural training and analysis. The study of historic developments up to 1950, with a focus on the counterpoint and compositional theory of Bach and Palestrina, serves to provide historical context and enables students to deal confidently with traditional craftsmanship and to acquire a broad knowledge of how to talk about music. In addition, specialised subjects allow an initial examination of the specialisations that follow in the second stage of the course.
