Entrance examinations 

Those interested in studying music must prove that they have long-term, extensive practical experience with music. For applicants to be admitted to the teaching degree program, they must provide proof they are particularly well-suited. The wide range of necessary skills required to teach music is also reflected in the structure of the aptitude test. The examination tests the applicant’s skills in playing instruments, singing, listening ability, music education, and the applicant’s ability to musically direct an ensemble. The test also includes an interview with the Examination Committee as well as the opportunity for applicants’ to present additional music-related qualifications that are not part of the examination.
