Music is taught in several different educational contexts, as a subject of learning in general education, instruction for future educators, or professional music education on all levels of study from pre-primary to higher education. This paper reflects on the topics in teaching methodology of English as a Foreign Language with a curriculum section dedicated to English for Specific Purposes focused on Music, in learning environments within professional Secondary Music School Education. Themes of course material design and use of digital media content are discussed and paths opened for further research by course designers and practitioners in the field of teaching English (EFL, ESL, ESP), CLIL, and English in Professional Music Education (EPME).
