Transforming lives through the power of music

Title promoted by the UAX and the Acción por la Música foundation, in collaboration with Sinfonía por el Perú and Orquestra Geração. An innovative educational project inspired by the philosophy of Maestro Abreu, founder of "El Sistema", who in just 50 years has transformed the lives of millions of people around the world. A programme that brings together the main methodologies of socio-musical intervention, management and leadership, implemented in Latin America and Europe, aimed at combating the effects of poverty and social exclusion.

Aimed at university graduates and EEAASS graduates in the fields of music, education, social sciences or community intervention, the Master's Degree in Music for Development is designed to prepare you as a professional capable of leading projects that use music as a tool for social, educational and cultural transformation.

A unique training in research, pedagogy and social leadership.

You will acquire specialised knowledge in:

  • Socio-musical research.
  • Applied music pedagogy.
  • Entrepreneurship with social impact.

You will study key subjects such as Sociology of Art and Culture, intervention in the Third Sector and inclusive strategies that use music to respond to major social challenges, address diversity and promote community development through collective musical practice.

Applied learning with real impact

We combine a solid theoretical base with external practices in real environments: educational centres, associations, NGOs and community projects. You will experience first-hand how music initiatives aimed at social change are designed, managed and evaluated.


Change your environment, start with your education

If you believe in music as an engine for change, this master's degree will give you the tools to turn that conviction into action. You will learn to:

  • Transform communities through art.
  • Lead through empathy.
  • Design cultural proposals for a more equitable society.

Be part of a new generation of professionals who understand music as a universal language of transformation.
