Overview

Qualify as a Music teacher in just one year

Learn the art of teaching Music

If you have a passion for Music and wish to teach at secondary school or college level, then this route is an ideal option for you.

This full-time, one-year course is designed to train you as a confident and inspiring secondary teacher.

At the end of this one-year degree, you’ll be ready to confidently begin teaching Music in a secondary school.

Our PGCE Secondary Music course offers you the chance to build knowledge of your chosen subject area and wider professional teaching skills such as lesson planning, learning strategies, behaviour management and more.

This is achieved through a balance of study of the knowledge, skills and attitudes required by the teaching profession, the fundamentals of the national curriculum, and a dedicated focus on the development of your understanding of the role of a secondary school teacher.

In addition, you will gain vital hands-on experience of working within the classroom through our 24-week placement programme, which will develop your confidence and competence to teach effectively.

After successful completion, you will be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) so that you can begin working as a teacher in a secondary school.

On this course you will:

  • Specialise in teaching Music.
  • Gain Qualified Teacher Status upon completion of the course that will allow you to teach Music in secondary schools in England and Wales.
  • Develop your competence and confidence working within the classroom environment.
  • Gain the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required by the teaching profession.

Careers

Take the first steps towards your career with secondary education

This programme will enable you to achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and work as a secondary Music teacher.
