Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.)
About the Program
This is a dual degree program combining Music Education for Gymnasiums (high schools) with Church Music B. Started in Winter semester 2010/11, it allows students to combine teaching music at schools with church music activities. The program is designed for various professional profiles: educators who teach classes in the morning and offer piano or violin lessons in the afternoon, or graduates who work part-time in church music service and teach music at general education schools. The program is offered as part of an experimental clause to test innovative study programs that meet changing professional requirements and labor market needs. Graduates can enter teaching service at four Saxon music high schools and in some other German states (e.g., Bavaria and Thuringia). The standard study period is eight semesters, with the first two semesters primarily at the Dresden School of Church Music, followed by parallel studies in school music from the 3rd semester. With the Bachelor's degree, graduates can apply for any full-time B-Church Musician position. The Master's program includes four additional semesters of church music education at the School of Church Music of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony, aiming to provide in-depth knowledge and skills in freely selectable areas of church music.
