About

The Master in Music Performance at University of Stavanger aims to further develop your artistic profile, scientific knowledge, creativity and communication skills. The program is strongly emphasising the performing aspect in the student. 

Overview

All subjects are meant to build the music student as a performer and a reflected artist in his own field. The  Master in Music Performance at University of Stavanger is fit for both classical, jazz/impro and conducting students.

A main teacher will be appointed to each student, who will be in charge of the weekly/scheduled teaching (students are free to take lessons from other teachers sporadically, but should clarify this with their main teacher first).

Opportunities

The School occupies approximately 6500 square meters of space and includes the Conservatory building as well as additional space in the adjacent buildings of Bjergsted Terrace. Facilities include classrooms, practise rooms, five dance studios, two computer labs, a well- stocked library, three recording studios, administrative and faculty offices, a canteen, and three performance spaces, including a recital hall. 

Opportunities for teaching practise occur in cooperation with the Stavanger Music and Culture School and local elementary schools.  In addition, the School offers evening classes in dance for children and youth. 

Concert and performance opportunities for students are many. Over 100 individual concerts are presented each year in addition to larger projects such as the annual opera production and the spring dance performance.
