Studies are designed for singers with high academic abilities who wish to learn the vocal arts as a profession in the framework of challenging in-depth studies, on both the academic-theoretical and the practical-artistic levels, without compromising the level or quality of said content.
The Conservatory is at part of a trio of institutions that form the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance: together with the Academy and its High School, it offers a complete educational program all the way through the graduate level.
Introduction
This department trains singers, oud players, violin, qanun, nai, percussion and other oriental musical instruments for oriental-Arabic ensembles.
The curriculum encompasses Makam studies, Arabic music theory, the history of Arabic music, improvisation workshops, as well as courses in Western music.
The Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance offers graduate students a unique international and multi-cultural environment for study and for personal and artistic growth.
We offer a variety of study tracks leading to the Master of Music (M.Mus.) and to the Master of Dance (M.Dance) degrees, as well as a Ph.D. program in composition in collaboration with the Hebrew University.
The four-year process for undergraduate studies is divided into three stages:
The Faculty of Performing Arts & Composition comprises five departments: Piano, Wind and Percussion Instruments, String and Plucked Instruments (named for David Gritz), the Vocal Department and the Department of Music Theory, Composition & Conducting.
These Faculty departments train singers and instrumentalists for careers as soloists, orchestral and ensemble performers, accompanists and instructors.
