Music Education (Classroom)

In this programme, you will study aspects of teacher education in developing your skillsets for effective classroom practice and preparation for school experience in Music. With a focus on professionalism, practitioner enquiry and career-long professional learning, you will develop a personal educator identity.

You will undertake intensive music studies focusing on creativity, performance and collaboration. You will develop your skills and knowledge in musicianship, musicology, technology, piano and classroom instruments.

With school placements in every year of study, you will have the opportunity to embed learning and develop the practical application of skills through teaching practice.

Following graduation, you will qualify for Provisional Registration with the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS). All eligible graduates are guaranteed a probationary year of classroom teaching in a Scottish school. GTCS standards are recognised in the UK and internationally, with many of our former students working in Scotland or abroad after graduation.
