This programme provides you with the skills and experience needed to progress your music performance to the next level. With support from professionals in the industry and the expert guidance of our lecturers, you will develop your craft as a prospective professional musician.

Our MMus Music Performance and Education develops solo and ensemble performance, teaching, and research skills appropriate to performance.

Here at Liverpool you will learn in an interdisciplinary teaching and research environment and with a diverse and international student community.

With dedicated small group and one-on-one teaching, the department offers a vibrant and active performance environment, and opportunities to develop connections with local and national music institutions.

You will have access to excellent studio and practice facilities and will perform in the Tung Auditorium (opened 2022) a cutting edge 400-seat, acoustically-optimised music performance space that has two top-of-the-range Steinways.

  • You will learn music teaching techniques and professional practice to help equip you with skills that you need to move forward in a career teaching music.
  • You’ll learn how to engage with and effectively produce research related to performance, with a view to developing as a distinctive, enquiring practitioner.
