Piano (MA)
The Academy enjoys an international piano environment with a great number of recitals and collaboration projects with professional ensembles and orchestras.
The teachers form a strong team and supplement each other to a very high degree. We focus on collaboration and knowledge sharing: Many students have two main subject teachers, we regularly arrange internal master classes, and students observe each other’s classes.
Study environment
You will become part of a rich and professionally challenging study environment developing every aspect of life as a professional pianist. Chamber music plays an important role, and you will have the option to participate in study trips and piano festivals at the Royal Academy of Music Aarhus/Aalborg and other academies. On occasion, the Academy arranges master classes featuring international artists.
There is a strong tradition for unity in the Academy’s piano classes, and students play a very active role in planning joint learning projects.

Cross-disciplinary collaboration
We also collaborate closely with the Jazz/pop and Electronic music departments at the Academy who regularly make use of classical musicians in their projects. As a classical musician, you also have good opportunities for finding collaboration partners yourself among the jazz/pop and electronic music students.
The pedagogical programmes are executed in close collaboration with the main subject teachers, and with music schools, Academy preparation courses, and other talent environments throughout the region.
Soloist assignments
Following an audition, you may be selected for soloist assignments with both symphony orchestras and chamber orchestras. The Academy’s great concert halls give you ample opportunity for playing and preparing for concerts and auditions.
Freedom of choice
At the Academy, we focus on artistic citizenship and wish to bring artistic processes into play in our surroundings. Electives are offered for this purpose as part of all Bachelor and Master programmes. Other electives support the interdisciplinary collaboration, pedagogical work or allow for specialization within contemporary music and chamber music, to name a few.
