The Department of Music Education introduces students to their future work as teachers in different types of schools. Students are encouraged to be open and creative in dealing with diverse forms of musical expression, research, the development of new forms of medial communication. The department also enjoys cooperation with cultural institutions in the Salzburg area and the promotes international exchange.

Lehrende des Departments für Musikpädagogik beschäftigen sich auf mehreren Ebenen mit pädagogischen Zukunftsperspektiven. Dies betrifft sowohl das Akquirieren von Pädagog*innen mit Blick auf die Herausforderungen der Zukunft als auch die Kunstvermittlung selbst – wie etwa in der Musik- und Kunstvermittlungsschiene Moz-Art-Zone oder im Projekt Musik-Multis in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Schulen in Stadt und Land Salzburg.

Das Department bietet zudem unterschiedliche Schwerpunktsetzungen von Volksmusik über Jazz & Pop bis hin zu Musikschulmanagement im Master, regelmäßige Kooperationen mit Veranstaltern wie dem Jazzit Salzburg, offene Jamsessions und Open Stages sorgen für ein lebendiges, buntes Studienumfeld.
