Master's programmes in music at ArtEZ
The master's programmes in music at ArtEZ University of the Arts form a breeding ground for performers, makers, curators and innovators who articulate and challenge their own vision of the future of the professional field.
Master of Music in Arnhem
The Master of Music in Arnhem is for musicians and makers who want to think beyond their instrument, genre or discipline. Originally developed from the Jazz & Pop and Music Theatre master’s programmes, it has evolved into a place for artistic autonomy, interdisciplinary experimentation and boundary-pushing artistry.
You will work within an interdisciplinary community on the ArtEZ art campus in Arnhem, where music, theatre, dance, writing, design and visual art come together. Here, you will have the freedom to deepen or reinvent your artistic practice. You will choose your own specialisation, work on projects that matter to you and explore how your work relates to audience, context and society.
Master of Music in Zwolle
Tradition is your material – the future is your playground. In Zwolle, you will join a master’s programme that gives new meaning to tradition. You will train as a performer-curator, with a sharp awareness of audience, place and time. You will work in a close-knit community at the conservatory, with strong links to the regional scene – from ensembles and venues to festivals. In labs and residencies, you will develop and present your work in real-world contexts, with artistic research woven into your creative process. Through personal coaching and a flexible study route, you will refine your artistic signature and design formats that respond to today’s contexts – from concert halls and festivals to educational and community programmes.
Master's programme Music Therapy
Are you a musician or music therapist looking to build or strengthen your music therapy practice through research? Then this master’s programme may be the right fit for you. Perhaps you want to focus on elderly care or mental health, or you are exploring the broader use of music in neonatal care and intensive care settings. As a musician, music educator or music therapist, you have first-hand experience of how music can make a real difference in people’s lives. The demand for music therapy and music-based interventions in healthcare is steadily increasing; that’s why we offer you the advanced competencies you need to take the lead in this promising field.
