Designing your own Master Project gives you an opportunity to consider your future career and experiment with developing your own professional practice during your studies. Additionally, you will take part in a peer group, in which you can discuss what you are working on. To help you develop your Master Project successfully, you will receive guidance and support from your instrumental/vocal teacher, research supervisor and professional integration coach. These elements and activities all come together in the Master Project.

As part of the curriculum, you will receive individual and group lessons in your main subject to aid you in your artistic development, you will conduct research on a topic of your own choice, and you will design and initiate your own professional integration activity. A Master Project is an overarching term which combines the three domains of our master curriculum: artistic development, research and professional integration. In the Master of Music programme, you have the unique opportunity to create a Master Project with your own future in mind.

Master’s candidates can apply to participate in one of our Master specializations, which we have set up with professional partners such as the Residentie Orkest, Asko|Schönberg and the New European Ensemble. The Master of Music in Classical Music programme is a two-year programme that helps you develop your skills in three domains, based on your artistic vision. We foster excellence, critical capacity, and creativity in our students by continually challenging them to pursue new paths and directions in professional practice. We help students develop their artistic and creative talents to the highest possible standard. The Royal Conservatoire in The Hague has an ambitious goal: to train tomorrow’s artists.
