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.
