Music Pedagogy opens doors for individuals who are driven to make a meaningful societal impact through the avenue of music education. It will appeal to those who are passionately creative, those eager to inspire children to delve into the extraordinary world of music. The curricula of the Music Pedagogy programmes are meticulously crafted to be diverse and comprehensive. They span the whole gamut of music from classical to pop, instrumental to vocal, interpretation to teaching, all with the goal of fostering students’ musical, personal and pedagogical growth.

The programmes include training in various musical instruments including piano, recorder, Estonian kannel, and rhythm music instruments. They also encompass conducting, vocal arrangement, and improvisation in various configurations such as choirs and ensembles. In addition, the curricula cover musical arrangement, classical and pop-jazz solfeggio, and provide abundant opportunities for students to perform collaboratively. Pedagogical discussions explore different schools of general and music pedagogy, featuring prominent methodologies like those of Orff, Kodaly and Dalcroze. Another unique aspect is the active and cohesive student community that organises a diverse range of events, further enhancing the learning experience.

The Bachelor’s programme warmly welcomes all high school graduates who have a background in playing a musical instrument and aspire to become inspirational music teachers. The Music Pedagogy curricula at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre present a remarkable platform for those who aim to shape future generations by teaching music. Our alumni have gone on to hold prominent positions as music teachers in general education schools, as choral conductors, and as traditional, pop, rock, and jazz music teachers in music schools, thereby contributing to the rich tapestry of the music education landscape.

At present the Music Pedagogy programmes are currently offered only in Estonian.
