Why Music in Education in Zwolle?

As a musician and teacher, you naturally wish to share your love of music with others and show how music can be meaningful in our lives. In our Music in Education programme, you will choose your own path of study, create your own musical productions, and be taught by enthusiastic lecturers and guest lecturers.

Become a versatile music professional

After graduation, your next destination could be anywhere, from school classrooms and concert halls to choirs to community projects. During this programme, you will develop your artistic and pedagogical skills and learn how to manage socially-focused artistic projects independently. This programme will help you become a distinguished musician, teacher and musical entrepreneur.

Beyond your own professional field

Be inspired by students from other artistic disciplines! This programme will teach you how to look and reflect beyond your own field. You will collaborate on meaningful projects and build an invaluable professional network. 

Connecting through music

As a passionate musician and dedicated teacher, you will help others discover the power and meaning of music. You will learn to use music as a way to connect with diverse groups, both within and beyond the classroom. 

Our students come to Zwolle for the atmosphere. It’s truly a community here. It’s not competitive, and there’s a lot of collaboration with other programmes. There’s easy, direct contact with lecturers, and our students feel seen and valued here.
