Course structure.
The course consists of four module areas:
Core
Students enjoy individual tuition in the Major in โOrganโ, in organ improvisation, and in liturgical organ performance. They also participate in internal and external concerts and panels, class recitals and different types of church services. The module area is rounded off with mentoring from senior lecturers and external experts connected with the Major.
Extension
Practical vocational aspects are consolidated and collaborative and social skills are taught in different formations: guided chamber music and soloist accompaniment, popular church music and piano tuition tailored to liturgical practice, participation as a singer at the Kantorei ZHdK. Moreover, stylistic and organological knowledge is consolidated in master classes, study trips and student days, and societal aspects of the occupational profile are examined from a contemporary perspective.

The elective courses on psychological, physiological and practical topics enable you to sharpen your own profile. They are supplemented with mastersโ seminars and a masterโs thesis on a subject-specific topic.
Graduation exam/project
The final assessment consists of a repertoire examination, a public recital, and a colloquium on your masterโs thesis and the content of your graduation project.
