Course content

Work with research-active staff to develop and refine your group teaching and leadership skills with an MA in Music Education.

This unique course integrates theory and reflective practice so you can gain an understanding of the philosophy and psychology of music education. 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 deepen your knowledge of music education, focusing on scholarship relating to effective and inclusive pedagogy. You'll then have opportunities to apply this knowledge in practical group settings.

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 departmental community, and we will encourage you to participate in our departmental ensembles, attend weekly concerts and research seminars, and take full advantage of our departmental facilities.
