The Master’s Degree in Performance of Classical and Contemporary Music Instruments is a professional degree. The objective is to train specialists in musical performance by offering a program of improvement in the instrument while concentrating on the specific repertoire in order to develop independently in a professional environment, either as soloists or as members of musical groups.

Admission process

To apply to any speciality, the following documentation must be submitted:

  • Curriculum vitae

  • Copy of ID card, NIE or passport

  • Copy of the diploma of higher degree or equivalent

  • Copy of academic transcript

  • Motivation letter, specifying in order of preference the teachers with whom you would like to work.

  • A link to Dropbox or Yotube channel, or a DVD of a minimum duration of 30 minutes with 3 fragments of different styles of various works, or sufficiently differentiated parts of a complex work, of the instrumental specialty for which the candidate is applying. The recording, made with a still camera, must include image and sound of the applicant. It is essential that the date of the recording is also included, since the performance must be from the last 6 months.

    The main lines of interest regarding musical research related to the instrument and ideas about the theme of the final work, if any.
    Proposal of repertoire to work on during the master’s degree.

In case of doubt, or if the teachers consider it necessary, a face-to-face audition may also be requested.
