Horn

Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.)

Hochschule für Musik Würzburg 📍 Würzburg · Bavaria

About the Program

The bachelor's programme in horn performance offers a comprehensive and systematic education, starting with purely technical aspects of playing and ending with preparation for auditions and extensive knowledge of the essential literature of the instrument with the goal of becoming a full-time horn player. The artistic bachelor's degree is primarily geared towards a career as a musician in a professional orchestra or as a freelancer, while the artistic-pedagogical bachelor's degree, with its higher proportion of pedagogical courses, is geared towards a career as a music teacher. Common to both degree programmes is individual instruction in the core subject of horn, 90 minutes per week. Additional instruction includes ensemble rehearsals, orchestral studies, both individual and group, playing the Wagner tuba and treble horn, ensemble playing in a wide variety of instrumentations up to and including the university symphony orchestra. Regular correpetition, weekly internal auditions in the form of class lessons and/or audition simulations, public class evenings, and workshops with interesting guest lecturers complement the comprehensive artistic training. In addition, interdisciplinary collaboration with other disciplines, such as music theory and music analysis, helps students to gain a deeper understanding of the literature performed. Numerous other events such as seminars on historical interpretation practice (natural horn/baroque horn) or even musician's medicine round off the programme.
