Advanced degree in Music – Program: Music Education

The training of the future music professors of Spanish conservatories and music schools is an important priority for ESMAR and a must for society as a whole. What’s more, this is a strong employment option. Let us recall that the latest studies on professional musician employment in the west state that 72% are employed as teachers.

The majority of employers voice a concern about the initial weaknesses of young professors in terms of training. In order to prevent this situation and to assist our students, we have designed an ambitious curricular plan that corresponds to the needs of music education institutions.

It is our further intention to organize practical traineeships with music schools in Valencia and, as always, the selection of a faculty of the highest quality who is experienced in the hands-on management of these institutions and who know exactly which educational profile is needed.
