HARPSICHORD & BASSO CONTINUO
Students with a soloistic profile (rather than ensemble playing, since there is no early music department in Antwerp) are welcome to enroll at Bachelor, Master or Postgraduate level.
The programme consists of harpsichord, basso continuo, partimento and historical performance practice as compulsory subjects, next to chamber music and some collective courses. Counterpoint is highly advised to take as an optional course.
Lessons alternatively take place at Museum Vleeshuis on the original Dulcken 1747 harpsichord and at the conservatoire campus on fine replicas by Jan Boon, Ivan De Halleux, Michael Johnson and Walter Maene.

ENTRANCE every two years through international screening and application.
HARPSICHORD FOR REPETITEURS
The pianist-repetiteur acquires a thorough understanding of the harpsichord: how the instrument works, what types of harpsichords there are and how to play them, how one can obtain a maximum degree of expression by using certain techniques, what the differences are in approaching the harpsichord keyboard and literature as opposed to the piano, etc.
These technical aspects are put into practice through playing baroque and classical opera repertoire on the harpsichord (orchestral overtures, arias etc. as well as smaller solo pieces); through accompanying recitativo secco; and through finding a musically convincing alternative by using these ‘early music solutions’ on the modern piano.
