Descriptions
Objectives
The goal of the Degree Program is to train, develop, and graduate students specializing in pop/jazz music as competent and versatile music professionals: instrumentalists, music educators, composer-arrangers, music producers and music technologists who are willing and able to develop their professional skills further and to use their creative knowledge to enrich both the Finnish and the international field of pop and jazz music. Students who graduate the Program will earn a Bachelor-level degree, specializing either as a Musician or a Music Educator. In both lines of study, the students deepen their basic vocational skills and knowledge right from the beginning, in addition to common subjects and cultural studies. At first, all students take common core studies, but towards the end of the studies the amount of elective studies increase, thus leaving room for specializing. All courses are one semester of length at the most. The Program also offers the students a firm theoretical background to expand one's studies into music research and, in the case of the music educators' study line, also into examining pedagogical issues within the field of pop/jazz music.
Structure of the Degree Program
The Degree Program comprises of core studies, professional studies, elective studies and practical training, as well as a final thesis or project and a thesis defense. Within these, in addition to the options and advanced study modules referred to above, further options are available in the form of modular courses which are chosen in accordance with the desired specialization objectives. Part of the practical training for music education students consists of practical teacher training, but all students also prepare for performance situations characteristic of their special field in order to gain familiarity with the multiform tasks of practical working life. With some preconditions, students may change their advanced study module before the beginning of the second year of studies.
Vocational Description
The objective of the Pop/jazz Music Educator study line is to educate versatile and stylistically diversified pedagogues specialized in teaching pop and jazz music. The student can choose between Instrument Teacher's, Vocal Teacher's and Theory Teacher's optional study modules.
The task of a pop/jazz music educator is multifaceted: in addition to a command of their instrument, instrumental or vocal teachers must know how to convey the skills to their pupils, as well as be able to continuously develop themselves as a pedagogue; theory teachers also get acquainted with composing, arranging and band leading in order to act, when needed, as an encouraging expert and the leading figure of their immediate circle.
The Pop/jazz Music Educator Degree embodies Vocational Teacher Education studies (60 CP ECTS), in compliance with the act 356/2003 and decree 357/2003, concerning vocational teacher education in Finland.
