Overview

Program Description Develop teaching skills, acquire curriculum knowledge in the field of music, and benefit from first-class music facilities and excellent placement opportunities with the PGCE Secondary Education with Music course. This Postgraduate Certificate Education (PGCE) Secondary Music course leads to the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), qualifying you to teach the 11-18 age group in secondary schools in England and Wales. The course focuses on meeting the demands of teaching music in secondary schools in the twenty-first century. The program proves a balance of reflective practice, analytic research and study, and current developments in music education. The course allows for engagement with philosophies and pedagogies of music education, the development of approaches to delivering musical learning, and projects and opportunities to put such considerations into practice. At the heart of Reading's approach is the fact that music teachers must be musicians as well as teachers. They must teach in a way that allows their pupils to develop their own musical understanding and use music as the target language for all that goes on in the music classroom. In the Secondary PGCE course, students are required to carry out three placements in two different age groups - ensuring they receive a broad range of experiences. Two placements must be undertaken in a school setting but the third can be taken in a different setting - allowing students to sample teaching in an alternative environment.
