Core
Students enjoy individual and group tuition in the Major, which is also consolidated with professional keyboard skills or voice training depending on their profile and prior education. Sound engineering and video documentation of the students’ own work as well as honing their own repertoire are an important part of their professional positioning and marketability. The module area is rounded off with mentoring from senior lecturers and external experts connected with the Major.
Extension
Assistantships with choirs and vocal ensembles of ZHdK as well as group courses in orchestral conducting further develop collaborative and social skills. Participation in internal and external master classes, competitions, concerts and international choral project weeks expand your network. Internships with partner choirs and institutions encourage potential specialization in individual areas of the job.
Profile
Students are able to develop a personal professional profile, consolidate their knowledge of audiovisual communication and production forms, social media, other digital platforms and company forms in this module area. Their individual profile is extended with elective areas that strengthen the specialisation or broaden its scope and encourage a general education. Learning and development steps are continually reflected on, supported and documented in a digital profile in mentoring sessions.
Graduation exam/project
The final project consists of an interim examination and a public choral project, which is supplemented by a written paper.
