Music has been called a universal language. Being neither placement, or take part of their degree for three months to a universal nor a language, this may not be strictly true. But year in an overseas institution and to have it count towards the sentiment, suggesting a form of expression that knows no their final grade. It is open to any student who has completed a borders, is an attractive one (even if border control does take a year at an Erasmus-accredited institution.

The programme operates Outside Erasmus, conservatoires are likely to have bilateral throughout the EU plus Croatia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, exchange agreements with institutions further afield, often at Switzerland and Turkey. It involves more than 4,000 universities postgraduate level.

A musician’s development is often assigned two potential pathways – studying music at university or a conservatoire. But what about a third, less considered route – pursuing your musical development at an institution which offers no music qualifications, but ample performing opportunities?

‘The nice thing,’ says Christopher Bragg of the University of St Andrews, ‘is that none of the musicians who take part in what we do do it because they have to, because it’s part of their degree. They do it because they want to be here, and clearly the

demand for what we are offering is very Universities high and growing all the time.’ Bragg is concerts, performance and events administrator at the university’s music centre, part of a team employed to provide students with a range of musical activities and opportunities: ensembles, tuition, Warwick Art Centre’s scholarships, tours and so on. Butterworth Hall As he indicates, however, none of the students are studying music full time – St Andrews stopped offering music as a process that takes place during the few at the moment, is focusing on the degree course in 1988.

Most university music departments provide a good range of in-house orchestras, choirs and more. But what if you want to start your own group? Be it a duo, string quartet, brass ensemble, choir, orchestra, or any of the myriad possibilities in between, starting your own group will be fun and exciting – but it can also earn you money, contribute towards your degree, and even set you on the path to a professional career

Do you want establish and what sort of music you are going to perform. to create a big splash or (more likely) put on something low key (Student composers are an excellent source for new works, and informal?

Think paid for this, but at this early stage the most important thing is to about how best to attract the sort of members you want, and get used to the feeling of performing as an ensemble, developing always remember that students in other years may have different a style of your own and, crucially, getting those initial mistakes work pressures from you.

Don’t just settle for the first people to come along and Why not ask a lecturer or your instrumental teacher to attend express an interest; it’s worth spending time putting together your concerts and give feedback?

The decisions to make and the course. The question is, which kind? factors to take into account seem endless, but this article will offer (without judgment) all the options currently available to you. Undergraduate degrees Preliminary requirements Cost £9,000 per year (full-time study) All teachers are required to have a minimum of a C grade in GCSE Routes to teaching training have become increasingly varied in maths and English, plus science for primary and Key Stage 3. recent years, with the postgraduate level being a popular time to Two A-levels are also required – always check with the individual take it up.

Liverpool Hope University with a joint honours BA in primary teaching with music. ‘I chose this because it let me do music as an actual degree rather than study it as an education specialism,’ says Lee. The balance of each year group varies between universities, but in Lee’s case, it was solely teaching for the first year, then 50:50 music and teaching for the remaining three years. The variety is certainly an attraction: ‘We were able to study music education and music therapy within music, and took part in sessions alongside classical musicology, performance and theory. In teaching, we took a module on primary music focusing on the new curriculum delivery and were able to base our research for our dissertation on music in primary.’ The decision of what kind of undergraduate degree seems to be more straightforward when it comes to secondary teaching (in order to teach through to A-level in your subject, you will need to have studied it to degree level). It’s the qualification and training which comes after which is often the source of a lot of confusion. of schools and sometimes in conjunction with a higher education institution (which awards the PGCE).
