Monash University

Melbourne , Victoria ,Australia

Bachelor of Education (Honours) and Bachelor of Music

In this course, you will advance your music skills, engage with the historical, creative, technical and cultural aspects of music, broaden your perspectives on music in the world, and lay the foundations for a highly rewarding career sharing all of this with children and young people as they, in turn, engage with music.

This double degree course will prepare you to teach in primary or secondary schools and beyond.  Students specializing in secondary education will qualify as specialist music teachers, while students specializing in primary education will be qualified to teach across the school curriculum but with invaluable specialist expertise in music, making them in great demand.

In music, you will develop a broad knowledge and will also specialize in one of performance, composition, ethnomusicology, and musicology, or creative music technology. You will have a high-quality music education, coached to capitalize on your creative potential, and to excel, and you will learn how to provide the same for your future students.  Your education studies will provide knowledge of how children and young people learn and are taught both generally and in music, and also the skills needed to develop and implement effective learning experiences in music.
