Course summary

Work with research-active staff to develop and refine your group teaching and leadership skills with an MA in Music Education. This course is for musicians who want to enhance their capabilities and confidence in group teaching and develop skills for leadership roles in music education settings. Through a combination of theory and practical teaching activities, you’ll explore inclusive approaches to supporting musical development in early childhood, primary and secondary education, and with learners with special educational needs and/or disabilities. You’ll also develop an understanding of the philosophical and psychological foundations of music learning and how you can apply this to improve your own teaching practice. Meanwhile, our unique module on leadership and management will introduce you to the challenges, opportunities, and responsibilities associated with a leadership role in music education. You’ll be able to tailor your studies to support your own particular interests as a music educator, choosing two option modules to accompany your core modules. For some modules you’ll also have a choice of assessment types. Our friendly teaching team of professional music leaders and educators will provide the support and resources you need to succeed in your professional and personal development. You'll be part of a lively and inclusive community, and we will encourage you to participate in our musical ensembles, attend weekly concerts and research seminars, and take full advantage of our facilities.
