Teacher training courses with music as a teaching subject
The subject of art can be studied in the teacher training courses "Primary School", "Hauptschule and Realschule", "Gymnasium" and "Special Education with a Focus on Inclusion". It is not possible to combine the subjects of art and music for the teaching profession at grammar schools.
General objectives of the degree program
The aim of the sub-degree course in music for the teaching profession is the professional training of music teachers. It is based on an open concept of music that takes into account the diversity of musical phenomena (art music of the past and present, popular music, music of other cultures) as well as the heterogeneous social practice of music (personal music-making; music as a sub-cultural medium of identification, especially for young people; everyday use of mass media music; production and distribution of music, etc.).
Accordingly, the module examination regulations are based on a competence profile that interlinks academic and artistic perspectives in such a way that students are enabled to teach music in a target group-oriented and appropriate manner.
