Music Education

Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Colleges and Programs

This is a four-year professional degree for students who intend to make music a career either as a public school teacher or supervisor of music. The degree provides for many professional opportunities and serves also as preparation for graduate study in music. Upon satisfactory completion of the music education course of study, the student is certified to teach music at both the elementary and secondary levels. A half hour recital is required in the junior year. All students elect an instrumental specialization or a vocal specialization, however, a double specialization (instrumental/vocal) is available, to be noted on student’s transcript, for B.M. Education majors. All music education students must pass a piano proficiency examination before graduation.
