After finishing my BMus I wanted to do some research in music pedagogy at a postgraduate level. I've been able to craft my degree to suit my needs. Being able to pick and choose from multiple courses from Music, Education and Anthropology has meant I can tailor my degree to suit me.
More music in schools
I'm doing a Bachelor of Arts (Honors) majoring in Music as I'm really interested in music teaching and learning. Outside of the university I am a Suzuki violin teacher and have had the opportunity to teach in many schools. From this experience I have noticed there is a lack of music education in most primary schools. I wanted the chance to study music education at postgraduate level to see if there was a way to introduce music in primary schools once more.
Diversity and choice
The music community here at Victoria is so diverse. Coming from a small violin community I have been exposed to all sorts of weird, wacky but also great music and art. With strong composition, performance and musicology departments it's easy to have opportunities in all areas. You just need to ask!
Wellington is such a fantastic city to be living in. As a musician there is always a gig or a concert to attend or be playing in. The breadth of genres is incredible, there is always something to suit your mood or music taste. Mine is forever fluctuating and yet I always find something to go and see.
