Vocal Teaching BMus (Hons)

In this course you will explore aspects of musical learning and teaching, beginning with vocal technique and how the voice is produced within the body and then moving on to repertoire and the various grading that happens within school and external exams. You will experience what it is like to be a beginner as you learn a new instrument from the beginning, and you will have a chance to work with children in workshops and perform to them in their schools. Arranging skills are developed and the psychology of learning music is covered. In the third year you will take on your own private student as part of the course. In class we role play, use peer learning, and welcome both students and other professional teachers to workshops and lectures. In the final year you learn to create a curriculum for your own students and also develop skills to use in a group teaching context.
