Music education is a rewarding and invigorating area to work in. It challenges and inspires musicians all around the world.

This intensive degree combines performance studies in your specialisation with the theory, method and practice of teaching.

What will you do?

Our Master of Music (Performance and Pedagogy) will advance your technical mastery as you:  

  • build pedagogical skills and knowledge through seminars and workshops
  • undertake a significant research project on learning and teaching processes
  • gain hands-on experience through teaching practise in selected schools and colleges
  • perform minor and major recitals with pedagogy related content
  • benefit from weekly one-to-one lessons with performance staff.

Where could it take you?

You’ll graduate well prepared to pursue dual careers in music performance and education. You could play in an orchestra while running a private music studio. You might be a soloist who coaches students through masterclasses and workshops. Perhaps you’ll play chamber music as well as teaching on school and college campuses.

Please note: This degree program contains some courses with practical elements where on-campus attendance is required.  If you are student in this program and unable to attend campus, please contact the Faculty of Arts, Business, Law and Economics for enrolment advice.
