I get so many questions about my course, here are the basic details again!

It's the B.Mus.Ed at Trinity.

You will be encouraged to engage in ensemble work at a level appropriate to your own ability.

Supervised practice in all aspects of classroom teaching is provided, in addition to instrumental/vocal practice.

Study abroad
There are opportunities for students to spend part of their Junior Sophister (third) year studying abroad.

Career opportunities
The employment record for Trinity College’s graduates in Music education is excellent. While most of the students go on to teaching – usually in schools, but also to instrumental teaching, some use the degree as a general arts qualification and go on to work in areas such as orchestral and vocal performance, academia, arts administration, library work, music therapy and music technology. Many students take postgraduate courses – either in related areas such as in music education, musicology, performance, or in a range of other areas including copyright law and publishing. Recent graduates are working in this country and also in countries such as the USA, China and England.

Do you play a instrument? If so what? I was in the music business for 25 years and never took a lesson.

@NicCarthaighA Very nice. I play most stringed instruments and the keyboard. I tried the clarinet but was never any good at it.
