Music matters
The course focuses on music education for children, young people and other target groups in our multi-faceted and multi-coloured society. You will be trained to be a good musician and teacher. You’ll learn to communicate your enthusiasm and love for music to young and old in an inspired and inspiring way. By doing so, the meaning of music becomes a key part of people’s lives.
After the course, you may use the title Bachelor of Music in Education (BEd) and you will have a first-degree teaching qualification. This will make you flexible in terms of the kind of work you can do. As well as music lessons, you will be allowed to teach the subjects cultural and artistic education and general art. Outside of formal education, your diploma will also entitle you to work as a choral conductor or ensemble leader, in music schools or with the educational services of orchestras, ensembles or opera companies. You can also set up meaningful socio-artistic projects and other initiatives as an independent musical entrepreneur. Many graduates combine different workplaces.
Music in Education is also available in Enschede and as a customised course.
