Drums / Percussion
The degree programme is designed for candidate students wishing to pursue a career within the professional music business. Students will have completed multi-year training in their instruments and acquired practical experience through public performances and/or participation in competitions. Additional requirements are fundamental knowledge of music theory and basic piano skills. These study requirements are to be demonstrated at an audition.

In addition to the standard main modules and following conclusion of additional compulsory modules, as of the fifth semester students will select a profile focusing on individual musical practice, instrumental training or musicology.

The entire study period is characterised by public presentations of artistic learning achievements in regular recitals in the MHL halls. Moreover, at a series of regional concerts ('Wir in Schleswig-Holstein') and other venues in the city, students are afforded the opportunity to engage in public performance in various concert formats. In cooperation with the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck, the Lübeck Orchestral Academy provides an opportunity for practical involvement in a professional orchestra.

MHL is also specifically committed to interdisciplinary exchange within the artistic degree programmes. Chamber music as an instructional method is an inherent element of the teaching load of numerous instrumental teachers. Student chamber music ensembles are regularly coached by a number of lecturers and consequently partake in interdisciplinary discourse.

In joint projects involving instrumental classes with musicologists and music theorists, students combine their instrumental practice and theoretical fundamentals within music tuition concepts.

Regular offers of master classes serve to ensure artistic exchange with external experts.
