Dip IRMT
This
Diploma, designed by the Council, is unique in that it gives
recognition to community music making. Many teaching musicians in New
Zealand either participate in or take leading roles in local choirs,
orchestras or musical productions. It also serves the important purpose
of encouraging those who teach music to expand their horizons and
explore areas of musical endeavour which they may not otherwise
consider.
The core of the syllabus is the teaching section, but
performing ability and general musicianship are part of the wider
prescription. It incorporates both academic and practical excellence
with flexibility of options for obtaining the 120 credits required.
Attendance at Teacher Training Courses organised by the Institute of
Registered Music Teachers also gains credit.
