Programme profile


The Royal Conservatory of Brussels is first and foremost an artistic institute of higher learning. According to the Conservatory モthe achievement of the highest degree of artistic competence is essential for music to reveal its full significance. All participants in the musical learning process are confronted with and must deal with the tension between tradition and innovation. Every musician must strike a balance between these two ends of the spectrum so as to avoid gliding off into either pure conservatism or new-modern opportunismヤ.

All sections within the Conservatory - Music Theory / Instrument; Vocal / Historical instruments / Jazz / Musical / and Teacher Training: offer Bachelors and deal with this tension between tradition and innovation in their own way by emphasising different aspects of the continuum in their programmes. The music curricula and forms of examination at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels are based on international standards and checked against the curricula of similar European institutions.

The opportunity to perform in a group is very important to a musician"s development. Each course programme therefore includes a mandatory ensemble element. Depending on the course chosen, each student is assigned to either the choir, wind band, symphony orchestra, baroque orchestra / consort, big band or other ensembles. A training orchestra also exists and enables students to gain experience as a conductor, soloist, or orchestral musician. Students can perform internships in professional orchestras, and the vocal department collaborates with the Operastudio.

This degree is offered in association with Erasmus Hogeschool Brussel
