Course contents
The Bachelor of Arts programme "Music Education" offers a wide-ranging artistic, music pedagogical and musicological education and is characterised by close networking of the individual subject areas as well as practical relevance.
In addition to the main artistic subject, students are trained in applied piano playing, classical singing, pop singing and the playing of other optional instruments. In various events on school music-making practice, music-making with many different school instruments is practically tested and arranging for variable instrumentations is learned. The choir and orchestra conducting classes train students to lead groups. Improvisation, ensemble and chamber music, big band, chamber choir and university choir offer versatile opportunities to try out making music together with students from other degree programmes. Other offers such as acting, physical training, dance and foreign languages round off the programme.
Music education and educational science are an integral part of the degree programme and are deepened in seminars at the MHL as well as in inter-university programmes. Theoretical, scientific and practical music content is directly related to teaching. Internships are directly integrated into the study structure in the Bachelor's and also in the Master's programme and are prepared and accompanied in special seminars. In self-developed interdisciplinary projects inside and outside the university, students apply their specialist knowledge independently. The study programme is enriched by international excursions.
Students acquire sound specialist knowledge in the areas of classical and popular music. In small groups they receive lessons in music theory and ear training and deal with topics in musicology in lectures and seminars. Here they learn the basics that enable them to work independently and teach on the basis of musicology.
Study schedules
There are four study schedules depending on the main focus chosen (singing / pop singing / piano / all other instruments).
