Bachelor Degree in Early Music

Young musicians from all over the world come together at the Institute for Performance Practice (formerly Early Music) at the Trossingen University of Music. They are united by the joy of exploring and discovering music from the Renaissance to the Romantic period. They are passionately dedicated to making music on instruments of historical design. Together with their world-renowned lecturers, they explore the sound of past epochs and transport it into the here and now. In addition to a broad canon of subjects and the study of old textbooks, they question listening expectations and develop new individual approaches to interpretation. Numerous historical instruments are available to students in the university loan pool. The guiding principles of the programme are science and practical relevance, historical performance practice and the joy of playing.

As a place of study, Trossingen is characterized by a both demanding and friendly environment with a creative working atmosphere and is not characterized by competition but by mutual inspiration and appreciation.
