Netherlands Carillon School

Netherlands Carillon School

The Netherlands Carillon School, founded in Amersfoort in 1953, is a Dutch school, teaching carillon playing. Since its foundation, more than 250 students from eleven countries have studied there. They preside over most of the 182 carillons in the Netherlands, and occupy positions in many other parts of the world. In 1985 the school became part of the Utrecht School of the Arts, Faculty of Music.

Education

The Faculty of Music, Utrecht School of the Arts, is a result of the merger of the Netherlands Carillon School of Amersfoort with the Utrecht Conservatory of Music and the Netherlands Institute for Church Music. Each student of the Netherlands Carillon School can follow programs of study offered by the other schools.

Other divisions of the Utrecht School of the Arts (ca. 3.500 students) are Visual Arts and Design, Music, Theatre, Art, Media & Technology and Art and Economics.
