In winter semester 25/26, the FPs will primarily take place in the last week of the semester, i.e. from 2 February - 6 February 2026. Registration for the individual partial examinations should be made directly with the course management in the courses set up for this purpose. Please register for the instrumental and vocal examinations in the Master's degree programmes directly with the vocal and instrumental teachers + KM, as these are conducted by 2 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 Stephan Schomaker during office hours or by email.

Important notes
The FP partial examinations in instrumental playing and singing in the Master's degree programmes are taken by 2 examiners, all other partial examinations by one examiner, usually the course director of the corresponding course.
The instrumental skills in guitar playing are mandatory examination components, even if piano is auditioned. They must also be learnt in a suitable way as part of the course (e.g. practical guitar playing in school as a group course) and presented in the FP.
