Gain the skills and confidence to ensure people with disabilities have access to high-quality music education.

Music participation can have a powerful impact on the lives of those with autism and intellectual disabilities.

 

It is vital that music teachers have the skills and confidence to teach a diverse range of learners, including those on the autism spectrum and/or with intellectual disability. The Specialist Certificate in Inclusive Music Teaching will help you build your overall pedagogical skills and gain the knowledge needed to help these students thrive, particularly in one-on-one or small group settings.

 

The course is delivered intensively, to suit the needs of working professionals. You will undertake two subjects over two semesters and learn via immersive face-to-face teaching days. You will join an exclusive cohort of just 20 peers and study in the heart of Melbourne’s arts precinct, at our newly transformed Southbank campus.

 

In your first subject, you will gain a strong grounding in the underpinning theory needed to teach diverse learners. Throughout the second, you will begin to put theory into practice and be mentored to refine your skills throughout small, scenario-based sessions.
