Current and Future Challenges
Although recent reform has specified that all programmes should, at first, be level (Bachelor) and second level (Master), university staff is not responsible for research and development into new teaching methods and approaches. However, within the Music teacher training course, students and teachers can apply for an Erasmus (or a Leonardo) grant and complete a teaching period for teachers or a study/training period for students.
