The practical subject of music/musicology consists of equal parts historical musicology and systematic musicology (including music technology and music education), as well as music theory and artistic practice. Music technology should also be emphasized. In addition to the compulsory instrumental major and minor subject lessons (one of which must be piano), students have the opportunity to expand their practical skills in practical guitar playing and singing lessons. Students also take part in various bands, orchestras and choirs. Students benefit from the broad-based basic training and the many opportunities for individually differentiated specializations.
A course of study in Secondary Teacher Education (Haupt- und Realschule) is divided into several stages. After graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Education and Teaching, you are required to take a Master in Secondary Education (Haupt- und Realschule), for which you have to (re)apply. The Master of Education degree is a prerequisite for admission to the period of school-based training called the Referendariat.
