Lecturers in the Department of Music Education engage with future prospects in education on several levels. This encompasses both the recruitment of music teachers with a view to the challenges of the future and arts education itself – for example, through the Moz-Art-Zone programme for music and arts education or the Musik-Multis project, which operates in close collaboration with schools in the city and province of Salzburg.

The Department also offers a range of specialisations in its Master’s programme, from folk music and jazz & pop to music school management; regular collaborations with organisers such as Jazzit Salzburg, open jam sessions and open stages ensure a lively, diverse study environment.
