Objectives 

The Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles trains teachers who are already specialists in their instrument. The master's degree in music teaching encourages musicians to examine the various tools of didactics, pedagogy and instrumental methodology. Throughout the year, future musician-teachers of all instrument families will be immersed in in-depth pedagogical and critical reflection. More broadly, this program aims to train musicians-teachers capable of developing innovative, stimulating and collaborative teaching practices, adapted to the challenges of today's society.

Employment prospects 

Graduates are eligible for ESAHR and compulsory secondary education (e.g. music education) in Belgium.
