The Bolzano Conservatory of Music offers a varied, articulated and continually growing range of courses, in line with the curricula of the structured courses leading to the Level I Academic Diploma (equivalent to a three-year degree) and the Level II Academic Diploma (equivalent to a two-year specialist degree).
There are also ‘Propaedeutic’ Courses of a maximum duration of three years, “aimed at preparing for the entrance exams to Level I academic courses”, which aim to provide students with “advanced technical preparation in the discipline of the propaedeutic course, together with a theoretical-musical competence”.
The Conservatory of Bolzano, as part of the enhancement of young people or ‘Special Talents’ referred to in Article 5 of DM 382/2018 welcomes with specific training activities also young students (not yet in possession of the high school graduation diploma) endowed with particular and marked aptitudes and artistic-musical skills and a technical preparation equal or superior to the requirements for access to the Level I academic courses. In any case, the students concerned may only complete this training course after they have obtained their high school graduation diploma.
In the field of post-academic training, a First-level Master’s degree in String Quartet has been in operation for a number of years, aimed at the specialization/refinement of string instrumentalists, focusing specifically on the quartet repertoire.
