Various Pathways to Music (10 ECTS)

Learning outcomes

The student can construct learner-centred teaching sessions taking into account varied needs of different groups and contexts. They can utilise various ways of creative and artistic expression, composition and improvisation as well as pedagogical approaches in their music education practice. They are able to apply the pedagogical methods and knowledge about group dynamics and reflect on their pedagogical choices.

The student is able to support the learning of individuals and groups with fruitful and varied pedagogical approaches. They enhance well-being and self-expression in their music education practice and value music activities as part of living a fulfilled life.

The student can use musical activities and creative practice in new contexts in the society applying approaches and elements of music education practice. They can create innovative new approaches through collaboration with other fields and professionals, e.g. in social and health care contexts and in education programmes of arts institutions. They also recognise new possibilities of developing themselves as musicians and pedagogues.
