They will become familiar with the development and implementation of a diverse program of musical traditions, cultures and associated pedagogies through a series of seminars featuring a range of guest speakers. There will be a particular emphasis on Contemporary Art Music repertoire and its place in teaching programs. Other areas of study will include assessing performance and composition, supporting music resources and ICT, and integrating the management of a music department and co-curricular programs.
