Bachelor of Music -
Mandolin

A highlight of the training is the participation in the ensemble Cappella dei Leutini. This unique ensemble, which performs on historical instruments of the lute family, brings the diverse music of the Renaissance and Baroque periods back to life in a particularly striking way. Students, graduates and lecturers of the Cologne University of Music and Dance, Wuppertal location, make music together on soprano lutes, tenor lute, baroque guitar, vihuela and viola da gamba. Didactic skills are taught in a practical way. Cooperation with music schools, for example in the form of internships, as well as work in the amateur sector through participation in seminars and workshops, and collaboration with plucked string orchestras create fields of activity that underpin the education and create early links to later professional life.

Musicological know-how broadens access to the instrument, which in many respects is still unexplored. The teaching of procedures that facilitate access to unknown literature and sources or the use of new media is also a significant part of the training. The high educational standards at the university ensure that the traditional as well as current requirements of the various artistic and instrumental pedagogical professions are met in a practice-oriented manner within the framework of the Bachelor's and Master's system.
