The Government Council of the Canton of Aargau has approved an application from the Swiss Academy of Music and Music Education for a contribution totaling CHF 260,000 from the Swisslos Fund.
The contribution will be used to establish a Master's degree program in music, which is expected to have a promising impact in the canton of Aargau, writes the Aargau cantonal government. The planned Master's degree course is a niche course that complements the courses offered by the FHNW School of Music.
The Swiss Academy for Music and Music Education SAMP based in Aarau, offers a full range of professional music and music education courses in classical and jazz & popular music throughout Switzerland.
The previous SMPV teaching diploma and concert diploma courses are run by the SAMP on behalf of the SMPV. At the same time, new courses are being offered and planned in cooperation with the Kalaidos University of Applied Sciences. The Bachelor of Arts in Music has been open to interested students since fall 2010.
