The study profiles in the ‘Music Education’ degree programmes offer students the opportunity to set their own priorities and deepen their musical skills as part of a double major.

Career prospects

  • a wide range of job opportunities – freelance, at music schools or in cooperation projects with general education schools

What does the profile involve?

  • Instrumental and vocal teaching (IGP) primarily aims to encourage people to make music.
  • Topics such as playing technique, practising, motivation, teaching literature or creative fields of activity such as improvisation or composition are combined in successful teaching in such a way that pupils are accompanied on their musical journey.
  • On the one hand, the programme prepares students for individual lessons from the basic level to working with advanced students; on the other hand, broad-based promotion in the form of musicalisation projects, class music-making and project work is an integral part of the professional field.
  • The courses in this profile prepare students for the various challenges of professional life and are supplemented by internships and specialist days on specific topics.

What is special about this profile?

  • The profile combines artistic aspects with a teaching qualification.
