Education
The Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles supports students in developing their own teaching skills, so that they can flourish as pedagogues.
From 2025-2026, the Pedagogy department will be organizing three initial teacher training courses in co-diploma with ULB:
- Master's in Teaching section 4 - Music, specializing in Musical Training (replaces the Master's in Didactics)
- Master's in Teaching section 5 - Music, specializing in Instruments (replaces the AESS/MD - Music)
- Master's in Teaching section 5 - Speech and Theatre Arts (replaces the AESS - Theatre)
The aim of the Master's in Teaching is to enable future teaching artists to master the disciplinary, pedagogical and didactic concepts and skills that will enable them to support their future students in developing their artistic skills.
Who is tomorrow's artist-teacher?
To prepare for tomorrow's teaching, future teachers in the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles are required to work on the following four families of skills (RFIE 2022 decree):
- the institutional, social and cultural actor;
- the actor of a learning organization in a collective dynamic;
- the organizer and accompanier of learning in an evolving dynamic ;
- the reflective practitioner.
The master's degree in teaching will build on the disciplinary training acquired during artistic training to train tomorrow's artist-teachers.
