Professional field for which the course qualifies
The Bachelor's degree in Elemental Music Pedagogy / Guitar (Music Education) prepares students for a varied artistic and pedagogical career. The combination of artistic and pedagogical content opens up a wide range of professional opportunities, from permanent employment in an educational or artistic institution to the field of freelance musician or music pedagogy.
Fields of activity include elemental music practice or instrumental and vocal teaching in music schools, general schools or day-care centres, vocational schools and (further) educational institutions of all kinds. Elemental music practice with children, young people, adults and senior citizens can also take place in specialisations such as drama and singing groups, music and theatre groups, drumming groups, etc.
It is also possible to work in the field of concert pedagogy, where graduates are equally active as performers and educators.
The high level of instrumental and vocal pedagogical qualifications acquired in the additional subject modules, combined with musical-artistic skills and stylistic versatility, gives graduates the opportunity to position themselves individually in the pedagogical and artistic field and to respond flexibly to the needs of the labour market.
