Course content

Explore the possibilities of integrating music education with performance, blending instrumental pedagogy and theoretical insight with performance modules.

Study a combination of theoretical, practical and recital modules unique to this course. You'll enhance your technical, artistic and instrumental teaching abilities.

Develop innovative teaching strategies drawing on theoretical and practical insights in music education. Communicate your ideas confidently in individual and group settings. Learn to critically reflect on performance and repertoire. Design and deliver informed and compelling performances.

You'll join a vibrant, supportive academic community and performance culture. We'll support your artistic and academic development as you prepare for recitals. Regular one-to-one tuition in your instrument is at the heart of the programme. Build healthy practice and performance habits, and apply your understanding of historical and musical context to your own interpretations.

The skills you gain will enhance your professional abilities. You'll graduate as a skilled creative musician ready for a career as an instrumental teacher, work in a related field, or go on to further study.

This course is currently only open to those who study Western orchestral instruments and piano.
