Study structure

The course consists of compulsory modules and elective courses for individual specialization. The Master's degree module is scheduled for the fourth semester.
8 modules
Topics:
Musicology in-depth / updating / key skills and job-specific specialization
Music education / music mediation
Layout and music notation
Analysis, arranging, composition
Music publishing / music business
Four practical modules
The planned practical events are offered by our practice partners and will mainly take place on their premises. Topics:
Publishing - tasks, functioning and significance of collecting societies, legal bases
Stages of music publishing work - in general and using the example of a project partner
The course is particularly attractive and practice-oriented due to the fact that the Kassel-based publishing houses Furore-Pan-Merseburger https://furore-verlag.de/, Verwertungsgesellschaft Musikedition https://www.vg-musikedition.de/, Bärenreiter-Verlagsgruppe https://www.baerenreiter.com/home.php and (nationally) Helbling-Verlag https://www.helbling.com/de/de in Esslingen have been firmly integrated into the course. During the four semesters of the standard period of study, students can therefore always take advantage of an accompanying offer from the four practice partners.
Together with the teacher training students in Kassel, courses in musical analysis as well as composition and arrangement are also completed in music publishing in order to get to know (in basic terms) the side of the authors who typically approach publishers with such products.
The practice partners have the opportunity to suggest topics for Master's theses, so that the results can be directly reused or implemented in part or become a work sample for potential future employment.
