Development programme for future musicians
Admissions for the academic year 2023/2024 are closed.
The development programme for future musicians is open to students from the 4th grade onwards.
WHAT IS THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME FOR FUTURE MUSICIANS?
The development programme for future musicians, launched in the autumn of 2014 at the Heino Eller Tartu Music College, allows a talented student from a music school in South Estonia to participate in speciality studies at the Eller College together with their speciality teacher. The student receives a total of four speciality lessons per month from the teacher at Heino Eller Tartu Music College and, where possible, participates in the work of the Eller Youth Department.
All supporting subjects (solfeggio, music history, basic instrument) are taught at the student’s home school. The speciality teacher from the student’s home school participates with the student in the Eller College classes and works on an equal basis with Eller College teachers. In addition, the teacher can participate in all the masterclasses of visiting lecturers (primarily EAMT) as well as pedagogical and methodological courses. The teacher will be awarded a continuing education certificate for the year of the development programme.
