Practical examinations
In the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes, different numbers of practical examinations must be taken in the subject of music. The exact number and content requirements can be found in the individual study and examination regulations.
In the winter semester 2023/24, the FPs will primarily take place in the last week of the semester, i.e. from 29 January - 2 February 2024. Registration for the individual partial examinations should be made directly with the course management in the courses set up for this purpose. Please only register directly with Christiane Abt for the instrumental and vocal examinations in the Master's degree programmes, as these are conducted by two examiners. All other FP partial examinations are supervised by 1 examiner, who is usually also the course director.
If you have any questions about the FP organisation and the content of the partial examinations, please contact me personally during my office hours on Wednesdays 12 - 1 p.m., during the special FP consultation hours or via email to .
