During the training the strengths and the talent of the student will be promoted, the weaknesses will be discovered and overwritten with new habits. The love of music in combination with the transfer of professional knowledge and technical skills are the first priority. The training at the Dresden University of Music is characterised by openness and a practice-oriented training strategy in the pedagogical and artistic sense. Every student is thus optimally prepared for professional life.
