Summary

The MMus Performance and Pedagogy offers the opportunity to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills related to learning, teaching, and assessment in music education as an instrumental/vocal studies instructor. The programme emphasises the value of learning and teaching as a professional activity; supports the development of your identity as an instrumental/vocal studies instructor and explores teaching as a key component of your continuing growth as a performing artist.

Overseas Applicants We will be holding auditions at venues across the world, but audition requirements AND application deadline dates will change depending on your principal study and where you are applying to. We will be operating a pre-screening process for some instrumental departments. Full information on our locations, dates and requirements can be found on our website. Please check this prior to applying.

All international applicants and those that are submitting a recording must also include a spoken introduction recording that is separate from your instrumental performance. This must be submitted to your Acceptd application by the relevant application deadline for where you are auditioning. All recorded submissions should contain a spoken introduction in English. Please tell us: - Your name - A bit about your musical background and training you’ve had till now - Your musical ambitions - Your reasons for applying to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland - This video should be no longer than 3 minutes long and separate to your performance video

Our overseas auditions will consist of one panel member and will also be recorded for review by the relevant department. • Please note for live overseas auditions, we cannot guarantee that a member of our teaching staff for your specific discipline will be on the panel. • All applicants will need to provide their own instruments (except piano). • All applicants will need to provide their own accompanist for overseas auditions.

Curriculum Review We are currently in the review cycle for our postgraduate music programmes starting in 2026, these courses are currently designated 'subject to validation'. This is standard practice during curriculum review periods. The outcome of this process, may mean there are some changes to how your programme is delivered.
