More Info on my Course
I get so many questions about my course, here are the basic details again!
It's the B.Mus.Ed at Trinity.
Course content
A basic feature of the course is personal development in music, evoking the ability to arouse the interest and enthusiasm of pupils. You will be encouraged to engage in ensemble work at a level appropriate to your own ability. Opportunities to perform are provided, offering realistic goals for all, including the exceptionally gifted. Supervised practice in all aspects of classroom teaching is provided, in addition to instrumental/vocal practice.
There are approximately fifteen hours of lectures per week, comprising music and education.
Modules Include
Instrumental/vocal performance – individual tuition
Aural perception and keyboard skills
Composition
History of music
Irish music
Practical musicianship
Conducting
Special repertoire class for main instrument
Music technology
Sociology of music & music education
Music education and teaching practice
Applied psychology in education
Educational philosophy & theory
Sociologies of education: Yesterday & today; Ireland & the world
Introduction to assessment & examinations in post-primary education
History of education
Educational issues
Research methods in education
Assessment
A combination of continuous assessment, practical and written examinations and teaching practice makes up the assessment.
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.
Further information
Anyone considering studying Music education is welcome to visit the School of Education, to speak to members of staff, and to speak to current students. To make an appointment, contact the Music Education co-ordinator at +353 1 896 1145.
