      Fees and costs

      Original currency is authoritative. Each price keeps its basis (per year, per credit, whole program), academic year and student category, and is never converted. Annual tuition and whole-program tuition are different figures.

      The institution does not publish tuition for this program on the pages we checked. Ask for current fees, what they include and whether lessons, accompanists, practice rooms, instrument hire, software, recording, recitals, travel and residency costs are extra.

      Sources and verification

      Not published on the program’s source pages: tuition, full-time or part-time options, audition requirement, whether a previous degree is required, accreditation or validation record.
