further information on the library
Musicology is generally subdivided into three fields of historical musicology, systematic musicology and ethno-musicology. In the course of your studies in Mainz you will deal with each area.
Knowledge of the fundamental concepts of music theory, familiarity with Western music in general, and the ability to play the piano are prerequisites for studying musicology in Mainz. In music theory you should at least understand the basics of harmony (cadence and harmonisation of a given melody). Knowledge of the most important periods and developments in music history is essential.
As in nearly all other subjects, Students studying musicology are required to have knowledge of foreign languages. The major in musicology requires sufficient knowledge of two modern foreign languages.
