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.

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

• build pedagogical skills and knowledge through seminars and workshops
