For domestic music art students, Germany has always been a country of music, and it is the hometown where music masters have musical inspiration. Good teaching facilities, history and culture make German music education always at the world-class level. However, there are still some differences between the German music education system and the domestic education system, so you need to choose carefully according to your own ability in the application process.
Intermediary experts know that it is relatively simple for students of performance department to choose German schools. According to the procedures and requirements handled by the German Embassy, do they need to follow? Pure art review process? To apply for a visa to Germany, as long as you send your own performance works according to the requirements of the school, you can go directly to Germany after passing.
However, for art students studying music education in China, they should choose their major according to their professional level when applying for German universities. If you are not a pure performing arts student, you must participate in the audit? What are the procedures for general domestic applicants? Art students who try alone need not only good majors, but also excellent languages. There will be some gaps in the professional level of these students compared with the students in professional colleges, and the German Conservatory of Music has high requirements for the applicants' professional level. Therefore, it is difficult for most art students in normal universities to apply for a master's degree in the German Conservatory of Music. So what kind of music-related major should such students apply for?
According to intermediary experts, the master's majors related to music education in Germany are: music education and musicology. The curriculum of music education is very different from that in China, so the requirements for applicants are very high. For example, some schools require applicants to have a German level of DSH2 or TestDaf 16. You need to master at least two musical instruments and have a music theory exam. Generally speaking, the exam is difficult and needs to be fully prepared. Another major is musicology. Musicology doesn't have high requirements for applicants' majors, but the requirements for language are much higher than those for pure art applicants. To achieve the language level of DSH2 or Telford 16, the main direction is to study the historical background and creative characteristics of music creation in different periods.
Therefore, the most important thing for music pedagogy students who want to go to Germany for a master's degree is to know what their advantages are. If your major is an advantage, you might as well try various conservatories in Germany, but if your major is weak and your language ability is high, you can choose musicology. For those students with strong majors and languages, you can try to apply for a master's degree in music education in Germany.
