About the Program

As part of their practical training, students observe lessons in schools and teach classes under the ongoing guidance and support of faculty members. In addition, students take part in a concert-preparation project, “Touching Music”. This project, held in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and the Jerusalem Municipality, takes place under the auspices of the Academy’s faculty members.

The programs lead to the following degrees:

• Undergraduate Degree – Bachelor of Music Education, B.Ed.Mus.
• Graduate Degree – Master of Music, M.Mus., in Music Education

In the third year of studies toward the B.Mus. degree at the Academy, students may begin a two-year program leading to a Teaching Certificate in Music, awarded by the Ministry of Education. The additional tuition fee is equivalent to one academic year of undergraduate tuition.

Graduates of the Academy and of other institutions who hold a bachelor’s degree in music and wish to study toward a Teaching Certificate in Music may apply for admission. The duration of the program is two years, and full tuition is charged for each year of study. The number of places is limited.

Graduates of the Department of Music Education enjoy exceptionally high employment rates in their field and are in great demand within the education systems across various sectors. Many graduates of the master’s degree program in Music Education currently hold key positions and significant teaching roles in the field of music education in Israel.

Internship Program

In order to be employed in teaching positions within the Ministry of Education, graduates are required to complete an internship workshop upon completion of the Bachelor of Music Education degree, in order to obtain a teaching license.

The teaching internship is carried out during the first year of teaching.
