MASTER CLASSES, SYMPOSIA AND INTENSE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
A master class with a top instrumentalist, workshops in which internationally renowned music educators enter into dialogue with our students ... Each year, the study programme organises numerous activities. These bring you into contact with experts from outside the university college.
Foreign music teachers are often guests. In recent years, these have included Thade Buchborn (Freiburg, Germany), Martin Fautley (Birmingham, UK), John Feierabend (Harthord, US), Doug Goodkin (San Francisco, US), Lee Higgins (York, UK), Anna Houmann (Malmö, Sweden), Isolde Malmberg (Rostock, Germany), Susan O'Neill (Vancouver, Canada), Gerhard Sammer (Würzburg, Germany), Nina Stern (New York, US) en Adri de Vugt (Den Haag, The Netherlands).
The practice of music is central to your life on our campus. You do not only make music during your practical lessons or self-study, but we also encourage you to participate as much as possible in the performances in our ensembles, choirs and orchestras. Finally, you will also participate in prestigious artistic productions.
Discover LUCA’s workshops
The sound & stage workshop unites technology and artistic creation. We support you with lighting, sound, video and scenography, and help translate an artistic idea into a technically feasible and safe design, with attention to equipment, acoustics and software.
You work in specialised studios: in the technical room you work with audio editing, monitors and microphones; the recording studio is ideal for voice-overs and experimentation; and the polyvalent space allows you to explore immersive audio and collective listening sessions.
Technical choices strongly influence the concept and overall experience.
As a LUCA student, you have access to every workshop across all LUCA campuses.
Welcome!

Quality is LUCA’s driving force
If the fundamental attitude of the policy plan implies that ‘quality is our driving force’, and that every aspect of the policy can be assessed against this, then LUCA undeniably aims to build and nurture a strong quality culture: a culture based on trust in people with talent and expertise, and aimed at valuing, inspiring, and improving.
The formal quality framework for study programmes within LUCA was named KOPERA, which stands for: Critically Analyzing the Quality of Study Programmes with Peers in Self-Direction.
For KOPERA, LUCA starts from a vision of quality assurance that stems from trust and is aimed at valuing, inspiring, and improving.
During the six-year KOPERA cycle, each study programme receives a panel of critical friends who review the implementation of the quality characteristics and examine how the programme contributes to the general LUCA policy.
The culmination of KOPERA is the ultimate assurance of programme quality. The core question here is: "does the study program have a good quality culture that follows the ‘plan-do-check-act’ cycle?"
LUCA publishes a quality sheet for every study program. You can find this on the 'Quality Assurance' page.
