At every Academy of Music you learn to master your instrument to the hilt. This is no different for Classical Music at the ArtEZ Academy of Music. But here we find it just as important that you find your own position in practice. That is why we help you develop all the skills you need for an existence as a professional musician. You will learn skills such as seeing and using opportunities, networking, following developments, cooperation and innovation. 

With Classical Music in Zwolle you can do anything. In the evening you can be on stage, having programmed a show with a theatre group in the morning and taught two students aged 8 and 16 in the afternoon.
