Enhance your understanding of music education with a master's degree at the University of Southampton. You’ll graduate with the skills for a career in music teaching or further research on a PhD.
Our MMus Music Education degree gives you the opportunity to specialise in various elements of music education. On this course, you’ll study current trends in musicological method and critical practice, key research skills in music education, a range of instrumental teaching techniques, styles and methods, the technique, history and repertoire of your instrument or voice, and associated performance techniques.
Our academic staff are internationally noted performers with active solo and ensemble careers, and established composers of contemporary art music, electronic music, media music (for example, in film, TV and videogames), and jazz. These world-leading experts can offer you intensive one-to-one tuition in music history, culture and performance.
We'll assess your knowledge through: lesson observations and reflection, group and individual presentations, essays and analyses and your final project.
You’ll need a 2:1 degree in music or a related subject. For the Education pathway, you’ll need to submit one sample of written work. This should be between 1,000 and 2,000 words on musicological or music education question of your choice. You’ll also need to submit both: (1) a short (up to 7?minutes) sample of recorded teaching (such as a one-on-one lesson, a workshop, or a lecture); and (2) a short (up to 3 minutes) recording of yourself performing a piece of music of your choice. Finally, you’ll need to submit a short (up to 500 words) personal statement giving your reasons for wanting to study music education – both in general and specifically at Southampton – and identifying potential research topics.
