Instrumental Performance is a specialisation within the Music in Public Space programme (first-cycle studies) at Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa. It suits you if you want to play piano, guitar, accordion or organ and build a career in classical music as a soloist or chamber musician.
Next to general music training, the specialist courses include:
This specialisation is built around classical repertoire. You learn to perform varied instrumental music in the style that suits each piece, and you work with other musicians on shared performance concepts. Besides the core music education you pick up the basics of voice production and improvisation, and you learn how to initiate and organise cultural events. The two other paths of the programme lean elsewhere: Musical arts animation towards managing culture, Stage music towards jazz and the stage.
Classes run in small groups, so you stay in direct contact with teachers of your instrument, and the shared work leads to solo recitals, choir and ensemble concerts and competitions in Poland and abroad.
The programme is taught in English, so classes in the specialist block and in the wider music curriculum are held in that language.
You finish with a bachelor of arts degree and the preparation to work as an instrumentalist or chamber musician in the field of classical music.
The degree also opens the way to second-cycle studies, in case you want to keep developing your playing.
