This program responds to the growing need of Lebanese society, which is inherent in music-related professions.
It is, above all, about the Lebanese school education sector, which needs to recruit large number of music educators. This need arises from the implementation of a law-making music education mandatory at all school levels, as well as from the establishment within the CRDP of a comprehensive music education program for all pre-university education cycles. Teaching music at the secondary level in particular requires educators who have received university-level training in music education sciences at the master’s level.
It is also about music therapy, the adjunct care sector in neurology and psychiatry, using musical listening, and music practice. The profession of music therapist (as an allied healthcare worker collaborating with teams of neurological and psychiatric specialists) is in a promising emerging phase in Lebanon.
Furthermore, it addresses professionals in musical sound and music production, expert researchers in the integration and processing of music in media (including the press), through the use of digital technology and artificial intelligence, as well as qualified researchers in musicology and experts in the musical traditions of Western Asia and the Mediterranean. It also targets high-level professional musicians (specializing in Eastern musical traditions and baroque music) who possess an academic background in musicological research.
Graduates of this program are expected to become musical experts, and researchers in musicology – above all, music educators, music therapist (as allied healthcare workers collaborating with neurological and psychiatric specialist teams), professionals in musical sound and digital music technology, or cultivated, high-level professional musicians, notably in Western Asian and ancient European and Mediterranean musical traditions. They are expected to pursue these careers in higher education institutions, in public or private schools, as well as in technical schools and music schools, in healthcare centers (music therapy), in cultural and/or media production companies, or in professional music performance and training settings.
This master’s program, offered with six concentrations, enables students to develop and deepen their musical and general musicological skills, as well as those specific to each of the six concentrations, while introducing a strong component of scientific research training. As a fully professionalizing high-level degree, the successful completion of this master’s program (with a GPA above 3.3/4) also paves the way for doctoral enrollment. The Faculty of Music and Musicology offers its top graduates the opportunity to benefit from co-supervision agreements with Sorbonne University and the Institut de Recherche en Musicologie, while remaining affiliated with the Faculty’s Research Center on Musical Traditions.
