Are you looking for additional competence in the church music field after having completed a degree in music on a different instrument that the organ? Do you wish to integrate a church music component within your degree of performing music? Our One-Year Programme in Church Music opens up new possibilities for you. In the autumn of 2024 we offer a new session-based course!
NTNU Department of music is not accepting applications for this program for the school year 2025/26.
The course consists of 60 credits and includes a main instrument component (organ), in addition to Liturgical Organ Playing/Improvisation, Choir Directing, Counterpoint and Theory of Church Music (Hymnology, Liturgy and professional knowledge). The course offers a broad competence level, answering to the demands in the professional field. The rhythmical repertoire is therefore emphasized alongside the classical church music repertoire.
In combination with a completed musical degree (minimum 3-year programme), this course qualifies you for the role of church musician ("cantor competence") in the Church of Norway.
Church musicians in active service who have not completed (a minimum) 3-year degree in music perfomance, can be admitted to the course if they can prove a high level of musical skills. They will however not receive the same level of qualification after completing the course.
The course in taught in Norwegian.
