Early Music

The programmes of the Early Music Department at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam serve a dual purpose:

  1. Full-time education is offered on historical instruments or copies.
  2. Additional courses are offered for students on modern instruments who want an introduction to performing Early Music repertoire

Early Music classes and projects are open to students from every department. In keeping with international trends, we define Early Music studies as making music with an understanding of history. We therefore also study performance practice of the post-Baroque. It is our aim to train both Early Music specialists aware of later styles and classical and modern musicians with insight into earlier styles.
