Objective

Opinnäytetyön tehtyään opiskelija osaa:
- kehittää itsenäisestä työelämän edellyttämiä tietoja ja taitoja
- tuntee länsimaisen taidemusiikin tärkeimmät tyylit ja esitys- ja opetuskäytännöt sekä soveltaa niitä luomalla ja esittämällä oman taiteellisen tulkintansa ja pedagogisen näkemyksensä musiikista opintojen aikana hankkimiensa taitojen avulla
- hallita instrumenttinsa/pääaineensa tekniset ja taiteelliset/pedagogiset ominaispiirteet

Content

Opinnäytetyö on näyte opiskelijan osaamisesta ja ammatillisesta kasvusta sekä ammattitaidosta opintojen loppuvaiheessa.
Opinnäytetyö on itsenäinen ja vastuullinen prosessi, joka toimii siltana opintojen ja työelämän välillä. Opinnäytetyön tekemistä edeltää kolmanteen opiskeluvuoteen sijoittuva opintojakso Menetelmä- ja kehittämisopinnot (5 op).                                                                                                          Opinnäytetyö koostuu seuraavista osioista:
pääinstrumentti, tason B suoritus
opetusnäyte/työnhakusimulaatio
taiteellinen/pedagoginen projekti                                                                                                                     pedagoginen tutkimuksellinen osio/ kirjallinen osio
Opinnäytetyö on osa pedagogisia opintoja sekä osa Turun Ammattikorkeakoulun tutkimus- ja kehitystoimintaa. Opinnäytetyö voi olla myös osa palvelutoimintaa ja se voidaan erityistapauksissa suorittaa myös kv-vaihto-opintoina.
