CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION
=>
Admission is open to those holding a music degree from a
professional institution such as a University (BA, MA),
Musikhochschule or Conservatoire. In addition, students who are
nearing the end of their organ studies will also be admitted,
but should include a letter of recommendation from their
professor with the application.
Students holding certificates from other institutions as
mentioned above should first address to the organisation.
=>
Every participant is expected to take an active part in at least
one course. Active participants
should have a technical mastery of a large proportion of the
works on the repertoire list.
Please note:
*
Tuition will be given in English. It is therefore
absolutely essential that active students understand English! If
it is not possible for a professor to communicate properly with
a student in English during the class, the professor has the
right to request that student to become a ‘passive’ instead of
an ‘active’ participant.
*
NL:
De voertaal van de Academie is Engels; communicatie met
de organisatie is mogelijk in het Nederlands. Actieve studenten
dienen goed Engels te verstaan. Is dit niet het geval dan kan
een docent besluiten
de student niet langer als ‘actief’ te
beschouwen.
*
D: Die Unterrichtssprache der Akademie ist die Englische
Sprache aber es ist möglich mit der Organisation des
Festivals Deutsch zu reden. Studenten sollen gut English
verstehen. Wann hiervon nicht die Rede ist, kann ein Professor
entschließen, der Student nicht langer als ’aktiver’ Student zu
behandeln.
*
F: La langue véhiculaire de l'Académie étant l'anglais,
les étudiants actifs doivent avoir au moins une connaissance
passive de cette langue! En l'absence de ces connaissances, on
peut participer en tant qu'auditeur. Pour les contacts avec le
Bureau, les étudiants peuvent se servir de la langue française.
WHERE TO
STAY
We can recommend a range of hotels, guest houses and
apartments in Zandvoort aan Zee, a seaside resort 15 minutes by
train from Haarlem. Early booking is strongly recommended, due
to the increased tourist demand during the holiday season.
For more information see the
links.
Upon request
(see the application form), the organisation can assist
with the sourcing of
Bed and Breakfast
accommodation in private homes in Haarlem.
The cost of Bed and Breakfast will be appr. €22,00 per night.
Please note:
=>
the number of B&B addresses is limited and will be assigned on
a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis. The prompt submission of
accommodation requests is therefore essential.
=>
the nature of B&B accommodation may vary from a small room
(e.g. without a table) to a whole apartment. We do not have
information about the quality and nature of B&B accommodation.
=>
in B&B addresses you should expect to honour the rules of your
hosts, for example regarding whether or not you may cook,
informing them of your times of arrival and departure each day
etc. This may require some flexibility on your part.
=>
The Festival organisation cannot be held responsible for the
service and level of comfort found in B&B accommodation. Staying
at such addresses does however give you the chance to meet local
people and even to make life-long friendships!
FURTHER
INFORMATION
*
Each student will receive all general information
regarding the academy by post during June.
*
More specific information, such as timetables,
allocation of study instruments etc will be distributed in the
academy office during the academy.
The academy office
will be open daily from Sunday 20 July.
* Classes will be held daily except for Sundays.
Each
session will last two hours.
*
The professors will try to allow every active participant to
play at least once during the specified course, but this cannot
be guaranteed. Preparing the less-known works on the repertoire
lists
may
increase the chance of the student being able to play.
* A number of participants, chosen by the professors,
will have the opportunity to play during a public concert, which
will be held in the St. Bavokerk on the evening of Friday.
* On Saturday 2 August, after the final classes, there will be a
buffet reception.
* The number of active participants per course is limited to 16
students for a 4-day workshop, 20 for an 8-day course and 24 for a 12-day course.
* Each academy participant will receive a certificate of
participation.
