Bachelor Music Pedagogy
Music moves you? Soon it will move others too! Teaching music means to be artistically convincing, providing a sound educational foundation and offering personal support. With us, you’ll learn how to teach others to play an instrument or sing, or how to introduce them to music in general, whether at music schools, other institutions or on a freelance basis. We will support you along the way!
Great careers begin with a decision:
