Early Music (Continuing Education)
The programme Continuing Education is primarily designed for working musicians and music teachers who already have a university degree or can demonstrate special professional and artistic experience.

The course includes teaching the main subject during two consecutive semesters of an academic year, subject to free teaching capacity in the chosen main subject. For example, musicians who already work in an orchestra can acquire an additional part-time qualification in the field of Early Music and historically informed performance practice.
