Research forms the bedrock of any university, and in the realm of music it paves the way toa comprehensive understanding and interpretation of our rich musical heritage. Musicology gives us the tools necessary to understand music in a wide array of socio-cultural contexts.
The role of a teacher is paramount in any culture that aspires to thrive and endure. In essence, the guardians of our musical legacy are the music educators in our schools, who possess the power to unlock the world of music and its boundless potential for children. They also include music school instructors who decode the mysteries of instrumental music for thousands of students, cultivating the performers of tomorrow. Through the synergistic collaboration of the students and teaching staff within the Department of Musicology, Music Pedagogy, and Cultural Management, we construct the hidden framework of the musical world, a foundation that intrinsically supports all the enchantment and beauty we seek from music.
The department stands on the three pillars of music academia: researching music, teaching music, and ensuring that profound music and culture reach the most diverse segments of society.
Our aim is to create a vibrant academic environment for young music enthusiasts, enabling them to heed their calling in these three domains and contribute to the ever-evolving world of music.
