What you will study
The Royal Danish Academy of Music (RDAM) in Frederiksberg offers a two-year Master's degree in Ensemble/Choir Conducting. The programme is taught in English and your principal study is conducting itself.
What you study
The core of the degree is your principal study in conducting. As an ensemble conductor you work with string and wind ensembles and big bands, and you train to lead both amateur and semi-professional music. Practical ensemble conducting is a central part of the education: you work intensively on your conducting technique and you are coached in artistic interpretation and how to put that interpretation into practice with an ensemble.
The register description also points to a separate orchestral conductor programme, so the ensemble and choir conducting specialisation sits alongside that conducting route at the academy.
Admission, language and next steps
Teaching is in English. There are two application deadlines: 1 December for applicants from the EU/EEA and 1 March for applicants from outside the EU/EEA. The academy's admission pages set out the requirements for the master programme in ensemble conducting and choir conducting, so read those before you apply.
Students who hold citizenship outside the EU/EEA must pay a tuition fee each year. Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland study free of charge; other students pay the fee the institution sets. The register does not record the credit total or the intake for this programme, so check with the academy.
