Normally, the Bachelor of Music degree and the Bachelor of Education degree are
each of three years duration. When the degrees are taken in combination,
students are able to complete both courses in four years full-time study at a
normal course load for each year. A feature of this course is its
interdisciplinary approach to the teaching of some subjects.
The course is aimed at post-primary/adult education level. Upon completion of
the double degree, graduates will have a sound preparation for entry into the
music education and training professions and have developed a broad
cross-disciplinary approach to professional development and working in the
community. Successful completion of this course may provide students with the
opportunity to pursue a masters degree in music education available through the
Arts faculty or equivalent postgraduate courses in the Faculty of Education.
Applicants must have satisfactorily completed the VCE or its equivalent including a study score of at least 25 in English units 3 and 4 and a study score of at least 20 in three other VCE studies. Applicants must also have grade 7 Australian Music Education Board or Associated Board of the Royal School of Music (Performance) or equivalent, and undergo an audition.
To
receive the awards of Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Education, a candidate for
the double degree must successfully complete the following:
(a) Studies in music (104 points)
(b) A series of subjects relating to the theory and practice of education,
teaching and curriculum. Practicum subjects are also included.
There are two major study sequences in music, one of which is performance and
the other is either musicology, composition or ethnomusicology (or an approved
combination of more than one of these areas). These studies in music must
satisfy requirements for teaching methods in fourth year and meet requirements
for employment laid down by the Victorian Department of Education and
non-government authorities.
Generally, to qualify for a teaching method in fourth year, a candidate will
require a minimum of two years full academic study in that subject.
Progressively over the course students will be completing more of the education
component, until the final year which will be entirely education, including an
extended teaching practicum. This practicum is a program of field visits to
different educational sites which will be provided in conjunction with
subjects, and students will be required to complete projects related to their
field visits. The visits are an integrated part of work in the Bachelor of
Education.
The following is a conceptual outline only. It gives a general indication of how the course will progress. It is subject to change without notice.
