The Royal Conservatoire Antwerp is the only academic institution in Europe to offer a Suzuki postgraduate degree. This method was developed by the Japanese violinist and pedagogue Shinichi Suzuki (1898-1998). For this he based himself on the way in which young children learn their mother tongue. The aim of the training is to teach the knowledge and skills of the Suzuki method for violin (including obtaining Level 1 to 5 certificates from the European Suzuki Association). The programme is open to an international audience and will be taught in English.

Conducting is a demanding discipline that requires very specific competences: a thorough knowledge of the repertoire, insight into complex scores, an excellent hearing, refined communication skills, a perfect striking technique and an indispensable stage presence. In the postgraduate course in Children's and Youth Choir Directing you further specialize yourself by means of subjects such as developmental psychology of child and adolescent, internships, choral conducting and didactics.
