This subject will examine the teaching of instrumental and vocal music from a number of perspectives. Areas of study and discussion will include the shared interests and experience of teachers within the group.
The subject will also draw upon literature relating to a variety of pedagogical traditions, schools and techniques for comparative analysis and discussion.
