Open class week | Music

The step to a higher education is big.

The step to a higher education in the arts may be even bigger!

To make your choice, it is important to know what studying a Music programme at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel (KCB) really is like. 

For that, there is no better way than to attend a lesson
(or several lessons) together with current first-year students of KCB.

We warmly welcome you to the Open Class Week of
the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel,
from the 12th till the 16th of February 2024.

You will receive a legal certificate of absence if necessary.

The curriculum table(s) of your area(s) of interest
can be found on our programme pages

What if my professor of choice is not present during this open class week? 
No problem, the professor will make an appointment with you at a later time. Each year, professors are looking for new students and will gladly make time to meet you.

May I also perform during an instrument lesson in this open class week? 
You may if the professor in question agrees. Be sure to mention this in your request to the student administration that you would like to perform.

Am I obliged to take an instrument, theory and group lesson during this open week? 
You are not obliged to do anything. It is entirely up to you which lessons you want to take.

What if I am on holiday and therefore cannot be present during this open class week?
Don't worry, in fact you can follow open classes until the 24th of April 2024. However, only upon request via the student administration (secretariaat.kcb@ehb.be).
