Noni Gilbert: In Spain, the term "maestro" refers specifically to the context of primary education. This information is vital.//It most certainly is not "quite clear" - if this is for British English (we don't know) a professor is a senior university teacher.

-> It's quite clear, otherwise it would be professor in English, instead of teacher.

Orlando W. Robson: I think you have a point. If we're talking about the qulaification as oppose to the person (which looks to be the case) then it's more appropriate. In Spain it's common to replace the name of the discipline with the job title.

27 mins

-> Many thanks, Orlando.

agree

Helena Chavarria: Maybe adding "specialising/with specialisation in musical education"

1 hr

-> thanks :)

agree

Charles Davis: "Degree in Primary Education" would probably be best, but you are quite right: it is a degree course and it is strictly primary, not secondary, which must be specified.

1 hr

-> thanks, Charles.

agree

Timothy Barton: Yes, this is the degree, not the person.

2 hrs

-> Many thanks, Timothy.

agree

Simon Bruni

2 hrs

-> Thanks, Simon.

agree

Noni Gilbert: Vital to include "Primary" as you do, otherwise the translation is misleading and gives misinformation.

2 hrs

-> thanks, aceavila - Noni.

neilmac: What Noni and Charles said...

T J: maestro ??? Strongly agree with what Rosa Paredes said: "That is what you call the person, not the degree" , I think Rosa's comment should here.

21 hrs

-> Could you explain why you disagree?Your comment does little to help clarify the issue under discussion.

Elementary Education Degree, Music Education Major

Explanation:
I think "elementary" is much more common in American English than "primary", so I offer this up as a possibility for an American context. We don't know whether the translation is for an American or a British market.

Example sentence(s):

In North America, this stage of education [i.e., primary] is usually known as elementary education and is generally followed by middle school. (Wikipedia)
