Key skills Your tool for the future

Key skills are much more than technical knowledge. They are the basis for a healthy, creative and successful professional life. At NUM Nuremberg, we support you in your artistic development and prepare you for the challenges of the music market - with skills, attitudes and behaviours that you learn during your studies. Our key skills are divided into four areas, tailored to the needs of music students. Best of all, you can choose which subjects you study in each area!

Our four electives offer everything you need:

  • Media and digitality
  • Health and physical activity strategies
  • Conception, transfer and sustainability
  • Music market and self-management

Media and digitalityGet ready for the digital future

This compulsory option focuses on the digitisation of the media world and the use of modern technology. You will learn how to create professional video and audio recordings and perfect your self-presentation on camera and in public. You will also gain valuable media skills, as well as an insight into media history and the realisation of digital projects. Get ready for the digital stage!

Health and exercise strategiesFind the balance

As a musician you are under constant pressure to perform, but your body is not a machine! In this elective, you will learn how to manage your rehearsal process effectively and look after your health at the same time. In addition to yoga, relaxation techniques and performance training, you can expect courses focusing on self-management, team management and emotional health. Holistic methods such as the Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais will help you stay productive and creative in the long term.

Design, transfer and sustainabilityCreating tomorrow

Society is changing rapidly and you, as a musician, have the opportunity to create and inspire. In this compulsory elective, you will develop your own projects that are not only musically but also socially relevant. Whether it is innovative concert formats, exciting outreach strategies or projects for people "far removed" from classical music, you will gain valuable experience in the conception and realisation of events. Your artistic potential meets visions for the future!

Music market and self-managementMake a successful start

The music market can be complex - but with the right tools you will be well prepared. In this compulsory elective area, you will learn everything you need for a successful career: music law, project management, business start-ups and market analysis. You will develop self-organisation skills and optimise your time and resource management. You will also learn how to present yourself professionally to the public and master online communication. Your entry into the music market starts here!
