The Principal Study
The Bachelor of Music in Education degree programme consists of four subject fields:

* pedagogical subjects, e.g. methodology/didactics, pedagogy/psychology and the internship
* music-theory subjects that provide students with aural skills training
* performance-based subjects, e.g. voice, piano, melodic instrument, guitar practicum, popular music practicum, world-music ensembles, choral conducting, ensemble-conducting and band instruction
* ICT; Music, Playing and Movement; educational music productions; and electives

Please note: all lessons are taught only in Dutch.

World Music
During their studies, students are exposed to a variety of musical styles in all their subjects - popular music, jazz, classical music and world music. Given the multicultural character of education currently given in the Netherlands, world music is a substantial component of nearly all subjects. Workshops and ensembles focusing on music from Latin America, Africa and Asia are offered.

Career perspectives
First and foremost, students are trained to teach music in primary and secondary education, senior secondary vocational education (mbo) and higher professional education (hbo). Many of them will also go on to work as choirmasters, music consultants, general music instructors at music schools, conductors of instrumental ensembles, or to do social work, or work in arts management or as music journalists.

Supplementary programmes (part-time course)
The Bachelor of Music in Education offers students who have earned a conservatory diploma in an instrumental or vocal principal subject the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Music in Education degree in a minimum of two years. read more
