Editorial Ofces: Peter Swinnen, Department Chair. January 2013. 2013_conservatorium_EN_druk.indd 2 15/12/12 13:34 3 PREFACE Building upon a rich international tradition the Royal Conservatory of Brussels wants to educate and train gifted students into excelling musicians who are inqui- sitive and open-minded and contribute to society through artistic reection on it. The ultimate goal of the process of academisering is to integrate research into the educational system and into artistic performance. The conservatoire does not produce pseudo-scientists but aims to educate conscious, well-informed, critical musicians who are in touch with a broad cultural context and are able to work with intuitive, emotional and spiritual contents and integrate these contents into the realisation of a work of art. This process is charactericed by a continious tension between tradition and innovation In a world in which prosperity is very much dened in economic terms as a function of material wealth, protability, efciency and usefulness, the Royal Conservatory of Brussels wants to contribute to mans overall sense of well-being through music and art. The art of music is particularly well suited to this purpose because of its ability to strike mans cognitive and emotional chords and create an integration of both. The Conservatory is located in the cultural heart of Brussels. It organizes numerous artistic events and is therefore very much a part of and contributor to the social and cultural life of the capital city. The Queen Elisabeth Contest, the Festival of Flanders, the Festival of the Arts (KunstenfestivaldesArts), Ars Musica, the Munt Opera House, the Museum of Instruments, the ne arts museum Bozar, the Flagey initiative, the Goethe-institute: these are just a few of the cultural events and names of other insti- tutions the Conservatory actively contributes to or cooperates with. The Conservatory can dissipate its artistic, esthetic and human values in a very rich context thanks to its international faculty and student body, the multicultural character of the surrounding city and the Conservatorys integration in the citys cultural and social life. The multicultural dimension of the Conservatory not only shows through its music curricula and concert programs, but can be experienced daily through interaction with the people teaching and studying there. The Royal Conservatory of Brussels is rst and foremost an artistic institute of higher learning. The achievement of the highest degree of artistic competence is essen- tial for music to reveal its full signicance. All participants in the musical learning process are confronted with and must deal with the tension between tradition and innovation. Every musician must strike a balance between these two ends of the spectrum so as to avoid gliding off into either pure conservatism or new-modern DEPARTMENT KONINKLIJK CONSERVATORIUM BRUSSEL School of Arts Regentschapsstraat 30, 1000 Brussel Tel.: +32 (0)2 513 45 87 - Fax: +32 (0)2 513 22 53 e-mail: kcb@kcb.be www.kcb.be - www.erasmushogeschool.be 2013_conservatorium_EN_druk.indd 3 15/12/12 13:34 4 opportunism. All sections within the Conservatory (Music Theory / Instrument Vocal / Historical instruments / Jazz / Musical / and Teacher training) deal with this tension between tradition and innovation in their own way by emphasising different aspects of the continuum in their programs. The music curricula and forms of examination at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels are based on international standards and checked against the curricula of similar European institutions. An international perspective is essential and very benecial for students and faculty both here and abroad as it sets standards of quality and excellence. For each student a move to the capital city of Europe to the Royal Conservatory of Brussels equals a move into the world. Peter Swinnen, Department Chair ENROLMENT An entrance examination is required of every new student. The examination pertains to overall knowledge of music and to the instrument the student wants to select in its future study program. The study curricula can be viewed on the website or consulted in print in the study guide. Upon request they can also be mailed to you. The website and study guide also contain further information regarding general admission requi- rements, part-time study programs, qualications needed to be considered for reductions in course load and study program, and many other topics. The dates of the artistic admission tests are posted on the website or can be obtained by contacting the ofce of students affairs at KCB. Participation requires no later than two weeks prior to the date of the test. An entrance examination at a later date can only be scheduled upon approval of the Department Chair based upon a request addressed to the Department Chair stating the reasons for the exception requested. Enrolment is only effective after all required documents and copies of diplomas and study certicates have been submitted to the student administrative ofce. More information: www.ehb.be/inschrijven. STUDY CURRICULA This prospectus gives a general overview of the study curricula. For further information please consult the website www.kcb.be. Course workload is expressed on an annual basis in terms of number of class hours per year. However, on a weekly basis course work load can vary greatly due to the project based nature of certain courses (e.g. choir and orchestra). Other courses are semester-based. 2013_conservatorium_EN_druk.indd 4 15/12/12 13:34 5 BACHELOR & MASTER IN MUSIC

Each course programme therefore includes a mandatory ensemble element. Depending on the course chosen, each student is assigned to either the choir, wind band, symphony orchestra, baroque orchestra / consort, big band or other ensembles. A training orchestra also exists and enables students to gain experience as a conductor, soloist, or orchestral musician. Students can perform internships in professional orchestras, and the vocal department collaborates with the Operastudio. SEMINARS / GUEST LECTURES Each year the study programme is enriched with numerous seminars. National and international lecturers are invited. The seminars can be taken for credit in some courses. PRACTI CE ROOMS Depending on availability students can use unoccupied classrooms at the Kleine Zavel 5 for study purposes, between the hours of 8h a.m. and 9.30h p.m. Most classrooms are equipped with a piano. CONCERT HALL Students of the conservatory have free admission to all concerts given in the concert hall, including those organised by third parties (PVSK, Ars Musica festival, Queen Elisabeth contest etc.) on presentation of their student card.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS The Royal Brussels Conservatory is a member of an international network of higher education schools of music in Europe. This offers students the possibi- lity of spending some of their study time (from three months to one year) at a university (or equivalent institution) abroad. This period of foreign study is considered part of the regular curriculum of the Conservatory and will not delay the students regular time of graduation. Cordinator of International Relations: Jan dHaene. More info at www.kcb.be STUDENT SUPPORT Many courses in the conservatory are taught individually or in small groups. Therefore the individual lecturers are always the rst people you should turn to for support in your studies. These lecturers are more aware of issues pertaining to methods of study than is customary in other forms of education. In addition a programme coordinator is appointed for each course. This person advises students about the way their curriculum is progressing and can also offer support for technical problems related to the course. In case of conict with your own lecturer, this is the person you should turn to next. In the specic case of General Music Education in the rst year, students can turn to Bart Buyle. Furthermore students can always seek help from Stuvo EhB, the social services division of the Erasmushogeschool (see below). 2013_conservatorium_EN_druk.indd 40 15/12/12 13:34 41 SOCI AL SERVI CES Within the Erasmushogeschool Brussel the Stuvo EhB manages all student social services.
