PREFACE
Building upon a rich international tradition the Koninklijk Conservatorium
Brussel wants to educate and train gifted students into excelling musicians who
are inquisitive and open-minded and contribute to society through artistic reflection on it.
The ultimate goal of the process of “academisering” is to integrate research into
the educational system and into artistic performance. The conservatoire does
not produce pseudo-scientists but aims to educate conscious, well-informed,
critical musicians who are in touch with a broad cultural context and are able to
work with intuitive, emotional and spiritual contents and integrate these contents
into the realisation of a work of art. This process is charactericed by a continious
tension between ‘tradition’ and ‘innovation’.
In a world in which prosperity is very much defined in economic terms as a function of material wealth, profitability, efficiency and usefulness, the Koninklijk
Conservatorium Brussel wants to contribute to man’s overall sense of wellbeing through music and art. The art of music is particularly well suited to this
purpose because of its ability to strike man’s cognitive and emotional chords
and create an integration of both.
The conservatory is located in the cultural heart of Brussels. It organizes
numerous artistic events and is therefore very much a part of and contributor
to the social and cultural life of the capital city. The Queen Elisabeth Contest,
the Festival of Flanders, the Festival of the Arts (KunstenfestivaldesArts), Ars
Musica, the Munt Opera House, the Museum of Instruments, the fine arts
museum Bozar, the Flagey initiative, the Goethe-institute: these are just a few of
the cultural events and names of other institutions the Koninklijk Conservatorium
Brussel actively contributes to or cooperates with.
Do you want to
realize your passion for music,
and contribute creatively to society;
develop self-discipline
and strive for freedom in thought and action;
forge dialogues between tradition and innovation,
and let music sound over times;
shape your personality by reflection, research and practice
building up artistic expertise?

Welcome at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel!
The conservatory can dissipate its artistic, esthetic and human values in a very
rich context thanks to its international faculty and student body, the multicultural character of the surrounding city and the conservatory’s integration in the
city’s cultural and social life. The multicultural dimension of the conservatory
not only shows through its music curricula and concert programmes, but can
be experienced daily through interaction with the people teaching and studying
there.
The Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel is first and foremost an artistic institute of higher learning. The achievement of the highest degree of artistic
competence is essential for music to reveal its full significance. All participants in the musical learning process are confronted with and must deal with
the tension between “tradition” and “innovation”. Every musician must strike
a balance between these two ends of the spectrum so as to avoid gliding
off into either pure conservatism or new-modern opportunism. All sections
within the conservatory (Music Theory / Instrument – Vocal / Historical instruments / Jazz / Musical / Teacher training) deal with this tension between tradition
and innovation in their own way by emphasising different aspects of the continuum in their programmes.
The music curricula and forms of examination at the Koninklijk Conservatorium
Brussel are based on international standards and checked against the curricula
of similar European institutions. An international perspective is essential and
very beneficial for students and faculty both here and abroad as it sets standards of quality and excellence.
For each student a move to the capital city of Europe to the Koninklijk
Conservatorium Brussel equals a move into the world.
Peter Swinnen, Department Chair

PROGRAMMES
The KCB offers full programmes at the level of Bachelor and Master in Music, at the
level of Professional Bachelor in Musical and a one year programme in pedagogic skills
(Specifieke Lerarenopleiding, only in dutch).
From 2016 - 17 on, students in Music can also pass (after at least a Bachelor
degree) to a related instrument, with or without a ‘preparatory programme’
(voorbereidingsprogramma or VP). The minimum requirement for passing to a related
instrument is, apart from the orientation proof, a bachelor degree. A student violin (with
at least a Bachelor degree) can continue in a Master program for the discipline violin,
but has also access, after the orientation proof and the relevant preparatory program, to
a master program in the disciplines Baroque violin or Baroque viola. A bachelor in the
discipline clarinet can as well choose for a master in the discipline clarinet as a master
in the discipline bass clarinet. A bachelor in the discipline piano can start a master in
the discipline piano, but can as well decide (after a bachelor or master in the discipline
piano) to enter the preparatory and master program in the disciplines fortepiano or
harpsichord. A good basic knowledge of the instrument is necessary. The students of
the KCB are advised to follow one year of the second instrument they want to master as
optional course (secondary instrument).
Enrolment
An entrance examination is required of every new student. The examination pertains to
overall knowledge of music and to the instrument the student wants to select in its future
study programme.
The study curricula can be viewed on the website or consulted in print in the study
guide. Upon request they can also be mailed to you. The website and study guide also
contain further information regarding general admission requirements, part-time study
programmes, qualifications needed to be considered for reductions in course load and
study programme, and many other topics.
The dates of the artistic admission tests are posted on the website or can be obtained by
contacting the office of students affairs at KCB. Participation requires no later than two
weeks prior to the date of the test. An entrance examination at a later date can only be
scheduled upon approval of the Department Chair based upon a request addressed to the
head of music, musical or SLO stating the reasons for the exception requested.
Enrolment is only effective after all required documents and copies of diploma’s and study
certificates have been submitted to the student administrative office.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Music-making in group
The opportunity to perform in a group is very important to a musician’s development.
Each course programme therefore includes a mandatory ensemble element. Depending
on the course chosen, each student is assigned to either the choir, wind band, symphony
orchestra, Baroque orchestra / consort, big band or other ensembles. A training orchestra
also exists and enables students to gain experience as a conductor, soloist or orchestral
musician.
Students can perform internships in professional orchestras, and the vocal department
collaborates with the Operastudio.
Seminars / guest lectures
Each year the study programme is enriched with numerous seminars. National and
international lecturers are invited. The seminars can be taken for credit in some courses.
Practice rooms
Depending on availability students can use unoccupied classrooms at the Kleine Zavel 5
for study purposes, between the hours of 8h a.m. and 9.30h p.m. Most classrooms are
equipped with a piano.
Student administrative office
The student administrative office is the administrative heart of the Koninklijk
Conservatorium Brussel. This is where students can fulfil all administrative duties and
gain information about registration, curriculum, exams, seminars, etc.
Opening hours: Monday to Friday 9h – 12.30h / 13.30h – 16.30h.
During the exams, opening hours change. You can consult the website kcb.be to stay
informed.

Library
Tel.: 02 213 41 39 | [email protected] | kcb.be

international appreciated heritage collection. Both together result in a large and unique
unity, in particular appropriate for artistic and scientific research.
Opening hours:
Monday to Friday: 9.30h - 16.30h
Closed Wednesday mornings
Studying at another institution
All fully registered students can take courses at a domestic or foreign institution of
higher education, as long as it is within the framework of a cooperation agreement or an
approved European programme.
International relations
The Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel is a member of an international network of higher
education schools of music in Europe. This offers students the possibility of spending
some of their study time (from three months to one year) at a university (or equivalent
institution) abroad. This period of foreign study is considered part of the regular curriculum of the conservatory and will not delay the student’s regular time of graduation.
Coördinator of International Relations: Jan d’Haene.
