Bart Claessens
Classical trombone / Methodology
Both your musical journey and your personal development are embedded in our curriculum. This means that, while you are part of the Trombone class, attention will be paid to your growth as a musician and as a person.
Working on a solid, technical foundation is very important. Without it, playing at a high level will become difficult, especially over the years. That is why the main focus of the Bachelor’s programme is on this foundation, which should last you a lifetime. In the Master’s programme we will focus more on in-depth musical development and the art of performing. Training for auditions is also part of the Master’s programme.
Further essential skills you will acquire include studying as effectively as possible, developing self-discipline and cooperating with other musicians.
As a Trombone student, you will take part in the trombone ensemble, various orchestral projects, chamber music ensembles, and you will be challenged to explore your own musical preferences.
