What you study	Education Studies Music	Music Others in Business & Administrative Studies
What it is	You study teaching methods and music theory, performance, and history together, so you graduate ready to teach music in schools. Unlike a regular music degree, this program embeds education training throughout, meaning you spend time in actual classrooms during your studies rather than adding it on afterward. It suits people who want to perform and teach music, or who know they want a teaching career but don't want to study music and education completely separately.	This program teaches you the business and administrative side of the music industry: things like managing artists, running concert venues, booking tours, and handling budgets for music organizations. Unlike a pure music performance or composition program, you learn management and organizational skills alongside music knowledge. It suits people who love music but want careers in the business operations and planning that make the music world run.
