Your choice of repertoire shows your experience with and knowledge of the Early Music practice.

In addition to the video recordings, you send in your Master Project Plan, that gives an outline of your ideas about the design of your Master studies. In the Master Project Plan Guidelines document at the end of the page you find more information about the requirements of the plan.
Second Round (live auditions)
During the live auditions you will present the same repertoire as sent in for the first audition round. You will have the chance to choose the first piece, after which the jury will choose the second (and possibly third) piece.
Part of the exam is a conversation about your Master Research and Professional Intyegration Activity, that you choose to do before or after the presentation of your repertoire.
During the live audition, you will be accompanied on harpsichord, 415 hz.
