The artistic and pedagogical Bachelor's degree in Elemental Music Pedagogy / Organ prepares students for a varied artistic and pedagogical career. The combination of artistic and pedagogical content opens up a wide range of professional opportunities, from permanent employment in an educational or artistic institution to the field of freelance musician or music pedagogy.
Fields of activity include elemental music pedagogy or instrumental and vocal teaching in music schools, general education schools or day-care centres, vocational schools and educational institutions of all kinds.
Elemental Music Pedagogy with children, young people, adults and senior citizens can also take place in special areas such as play and singing groups, music and drama groups, percussion groups, etc.
