- : The purpose of this master’s degree is to help improve the quality of music teaching from a higher education perspective, with a teaching staff that includes important figures from the artistic world. Overall it is aimed at achieving the following objectives:
a) To provide a teaching qualification for attending instrumentalists and conductors that will help them build their future teaching career.
b) To develop a highly-specialised place of reference in terms of theoretical, analytical, technical and performing aspects for different instrumental specialities and conducting.
c) To complement the students’ training by playing a great deal of chamber music and orchestral music aimed at developing their artistic and professional skills as performers.
The Master’s course is based on an active and interdisciplinary methodology. The contents of the theoretical modules meet the need for a highly qualified teacher training programme, which enables knowledge to be passed on through the teaching-learning process. The Instrumental Performance and Conducting modules provide a new level of technical and artistic specialisation in each of these areas. The interdependent nature of all the areas of the master’s programme will help performers achieve the best possible results and develop their music teaching skills. All the students on the master’s course will take the Teaching and Theory modules, but they will be divided into small groups for the Instrumental Performance module, depending on their speciality, and the Conducting module. The activities carried out throughout the course will revolve around teaching practice and concert performance itself, which will be a permanent feature of the course with the formation of musical ensembles.
