Descriptions
Objectives
The goal of the Degree Programme is to train, develop, and graduate students specialising in popular music and jazz as competent and versatile music professionals: instrumentalists, music educators, composer-arrangers, and music producer/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 popular music and jazz. Students who graduate the Programme will earn a Bachelor's degree, specialising either as a Musician or a Music Educator. In both specialisation options 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 core requirement studies, but towards the end of the studies the amount of elective studies increase, thus leaving room for specialising. All courses are one semester of length at the most. The Programme 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 popular music and jazz.
Structure of the Degree Programme
The Degree Programme comprises of core requirement studies, professional studies, elective studies and work placement, as well as a Bachelor's thesis and a maturity test. Within these, in addition to the specialisation 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 specialisation objectives. Part of the work placement 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 professional specialisation before the beginning of the second year of studies.
Vocational Description
The objective of the Pop & Jazz Music Educator specialisation option is to educate versatile and stylistically diversified pedagogues specialised in teaching popular music and jazz. The student can choose between Instrument Teacher's, Vocal Teacher's and Theory Teacher's professional specialisation studies.
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 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.

Development
Pop/jazzmusiikin koulutusohjelman lukuvuoden 2010-2011 opetussuunnitelmien merkittävin uudistus on aiempien musiikintuottajan ja musiikkiteknologin ammatillisten suuntautumisten yhdistäminen yhdeksi, musiikkituottaja-teknologin ammatilliseksi suuntautumiseksi Pop/jazz-muusikon suuntautumisvaihtoehdossa. Tämä on luonnollisesti tuonut mukanaan useita uusia opintojaksoja sekä aiempien opintojaksojen sisällöllisiä ja ajoituksellisia tarkennuksia. Tämä ammatillisten suuntautumisten yhdistäminen pohjautuu laajaan työelämäpalautteeseen, ja kehitystyötä on tehty tiiviisti alan keskeisiä toimijoita ja ammatillisia vaikuttajia kuunnellen, mm. tiedonhankintakyselyjä hyödyntäen.
Toinen merkittävä uudistus on mahdollisuus sisällyttää 30 op:n laajuinen sivuaineen opintokokonaisuus Pop/jazz-muusikon suuntautumisvaihtoehdon instrumentalistin syventävään opintokokonaisuuteen. Koska sivuainekokonaisuuksia ei käytännössä vielä ole tarjolla, opiskelijat voivat sivuaineen asemesta opiskella 30 op muita vaihtoehtoisia opintoja.
Ylläolevien muutosten lisäksi joitain opintojaksojen ajoituksia on täsmennetty sekä opinnäytetyö ja kypsyysnäyte on jaettu kolmeksi opintojaksoksi (2 seminaarijaksoa + varsinainen opinnäytetyöprosessi), jolloin kokonaisuudesta on saatu sisällöllisesti ja ajoituksellisesti informatiivisempi.
Musiikin koulutusohjelmarypään ammatillinen neuvottelukunta käsitteli opetussuunnitelmia kokouksessaan 2.2.2010. Kokous piti uudistuksia tervetulleina, ja varsinkin uusi, yhdistetty musiikkituottaja-teknologin ammatillinen suuntautuminen sai kiitosta sekä toteutukseltaan että työelämävastaavuudeltaan.
Pop/jazzmusiikin opetussuunnitelmien opintojaksojen kuvaukset on kirjoitettu osaamisperustaisiksi. Tehty kehitystyö perustuu Euroopan konservatorioliitto AEC:n julkaisemiin, Erasmus/Polifonia-verkoston määrittelemiin kansainvälisiin osaamis- ja kompetenssikuvauksiin, joita varten opetussuunnitelmissa on myös oma kompetenssipohjainen jäsentelynsä.
Opetussuunnitelman kehittämistyön jatkamiseksi pop/jazz-musiikin koulutusohjelmassa on olemassa jatkuva, määritelty ja kuvattu prosessi.
