Programmes
The programmes have been given the highest status, both nationally and internationally. This means that they measure up to the best comparable courses on offer abroad. The programmes aim to train students for careers as professional musicians, and, depending on the course taken, students graduate either as solo performers or as music teachers.
The emphasis of the teaching is on solo work with an instrument or the voice, but there is also ensemble playing and a number of supplementary subjects. For those studying to become music teachers, particular importance is attached to music pedagogy and communicative subjects.

. In a direct response, Goodiepal declared a five step "Gentleman's War" on "the stupidity of modern computer music and media based art" specially aimed at Det Jyske Musikkonservatorium.

, leader of DIEM, the electronic music department of Det Jyske Musikkonservatorium, acknowledging his hard work and struggles to change the mindset of the old-fashioned academy.
