Career centre

The newly-established Career Centre at the academy of music in Detmold aims to accompany and support students on their way into their professional lives. The musical world is one of constant change, the number of permanent positions is shrinking, and job requirements are changing, but nevertheless there are also completely new and multifaceted opportunities opening up for music school graduates. The Career Centre will assist students to meet the new challenges of the musical marketplace, find careers that suit them and will prepare them for those.
In doing so, it takes over three central responsibilities:
Inform: By providing focussed information, the centre will provide the student with an overview of career possibilities, practical stints, festivals, competitions and so on.
Advise: At individual counselling, the students have the opportunity to address their individual and unique questions concerning the topic of finding a career.
Qualify: Skills which go beyond the curricula of the individual study courses are taught during seminars and workshops. These include topics such as applying for a job, business start-up, legal aspects, insurance, marketing oneself or even training for auditions.

Optimal synergies are developed by the close collaboration between the departments of musical education, music management and musicians' health.

Musicians´ Health

Taktung des MV-Studiums

Es handelt sich bei dem Studiengang um einen berufsbegleitenden Weiterbildungsstudiengang, d.h. die Studierenden haben bereits ein künstlerisches, musikwissenschaftliches, musikpädagogisches Studium oder ein Studium des Kulturmanagements abgeschlossen und absolvieren den Studiengang parallel zu ihrer Berufstätigkeit. An neun Wochenend-Blockseminaren pro Studienjahr zwischen Oktober und Juni kommen sie zu Intensivseminaren in das historische Palais der Musikhochschule Detmold. Neben einem Team von 10 Dozenten der Musikhochschule Detmold unterrichten Gastdozenten aus anderen Universitäten und Musikhochschulen sowie Kulturverantwortliche aus der Praxis wie der Tonhalle Düsseldorf, dem Festspielhaus Baden-Baden oder dem Westdeutschen Rundfunk.
Das Studium wird als flexible Mischung aus fest terminierten Blockseminaren, eigenverantwortlichen Studien und Praktika organisiert. Das hängt auch zusammen mit der angesprochenen Adressatengruppe, deren kostbarstes Gut die ihnen zur Verfügung stehende Zeit ist. Wer sich zu einer solchen Ausbildung entschließt, ist in der Regel bereits vielfältig und in sehr verschiedenen Tätigkeitsfeldern (ob nun ehrenamtlich, freiberuflich, teilzeitbeschäftigt, selbstständig, angestellt oder verbeamtet) engagiert. Das zeigt die Erfahrung mit den vier abgeschlossenen Studienzyklen. Dieser Zielgruppe ist ein selbstorganisiertes und eigenverantwortliches Studium gemäß und wird von ihr gewünscht.

Einen Überblick über die augenblicklich angebotenen Lehrveranstaltungen erhalten Sie im digitalen Vorlesungsverzeichnis Lehre-Studium-Forschung (LSF).
