HIGHER DIPLOMA IN ARtS IN MUSIC EDUCAtIONABOUt tHIS COURSE This programme is designed for the

contemporary practitioner in music education, whether teaching in a school or running a practice or studio.

In today’s society, a career in music education requires a broad range of disparate skills: a high level of mastery in performance; a thorough knowledge of music theory; an understanding of the theory of music teaching and learning and a practical working knowledge of music technology.

Furthermore, music teachers require skills in management, business and arts organisation, as their work often takes them outside of the classroom through organising concerts, competitions and stage shows.

The programme recognises that music education has to be relevant to young and mature learners, and to their ethnic culture, life experience and the popular culture to which they are exposed. To this end the programme will facilitate and encourage performance and teaching in several genres – classical, traditional, non- Western, jazz and popular music.

Postgraduate students will be awarded a Higher Diploma in Arts in Music Education at HETAC Level 8. Students who do not possess a primary degree will be awarded a LSMD/Griffith College Diploma, which also entitles them to receive subject credits from HETAC.
