About

The two-year Music program of Codarts Rotterdam is offered in two profiles: a Performers Profile (for performing musicians) and a Composition Profile (for composers) in the genres Classical Music, Jazz, Pop and World Music.

Overview

Students who choose to enter in the Music program of Codarts Rotterdam make themselves flexibly deployable within the international work field and learn how to distinguish themselves as either performing musicians or composers.

Features 

  • Your development in your main subject is the core of your studies. There is also room to work on your unique selling points by taking a variety of optional subjects and by doing research that is related to your future professional practice. 
  • You will receive an annual budget of €500 to help you achieve your Master’s goals.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

  • The core of the programme consists of intense activities in your main subject studies. The first year is concluded with a halfway exam. For musicians this is a concert, while composers present new work. 
  • A committee will provide feedback with regard to your artistic development. At the end of the second year, you demonstrate your development, both artistically and in musical technique, at a public concert, before a committee. Composers do so by presenting their work in public.
