MA Music Performance, VoiceMA Music Performance, Voice

In choosing a major, students choose their core subject area. They can choose one or two minors to deepen the competencies acquired in their major or to expand these competencies across disciplines. Alternatively, they can also choose open courses to form an Individual Area of Study (ISB). 

Instead of a minor, students can also choose an Individual Area of Study (ISB). Courses chosen as part of an ISB are cross-disciplinary and subject to special admissions requirements. The number of places on such courses is limited.

Vocal students enjoy basic training in ensemble singing. By participating in vocal ensemble projects, they gain an insight into the work of a professional singer and can take on solo parts in projects of the ZHdK choirs.

At regular intervals, selected ZHdK voice students are given the opportunity to demonstrate their talent on stage in an opera production. The productions are created in close collaboration between the various training programmes in orchestral conducting, vocal and instrumental studies and with the involvement of students from the Department of Performing Arts and Film.

Public masterclasses are held regularly at the ZHdK. Here, outstanding musical personalities from the fields of creation, interpretation and reflection can be experienced in intensive work with students.

The Studio Contemporary Music is one of the institutions within ZHdK with the most public events. Many questions that recur in scores of older music can be directly posed and negotiated in contemporary music.

The Career Center Music offers ZHdK music students a whole host of career-related content, enabling them to embark upon their professional life with success. It acts as the interface between study and career. 

Students at the ZHdK Musik benefit from an excellent infrastructure, live electronics and multimedia, audio productions with in-house sound engineers, historical instrument collections, an extensive equipment pool for loan and an excellent library.
