Specialist Certificate in Inclusive Music Teaching (SC-IMUSTCH)

The Specialist Certificate in Inclusive Music Teaching is a part-time award taken over two study periods. Upon completion, graduates will be able to design and critically evaluate relevant and specialist music teaching and learning curriculum suitable for learners who have neurodevelopmental conditions and/or intellectual disability. The certificate consists of two core subjects offered intensively in seminar classes designed to promote active learning, including:

1. Theories of Inclusive Music Teaching, which will engage students in contemporary theory from three relevant disciplines (music pedagogy, special education, and music for health and wellbeing), and
2. Methods for Inclusive Music Teaching, which will focus on translating theory into practice by providing students with mentoring and support in developing their specialist music studio pedagogical skills for diverse learners in small group and one-to-one contexts.
