About the course

The Music Education program develops skillful teachers who are in demand throughout New England and across the country. We take a global approach to music education, encouraging you to explore the world's musical heritage and bring diverse experiences to the classroom.

The program emphasizes how to develop and conduct vocal and instrumental ensembles, methods for teaching music, music education's historical foundations, and up-to-date electronic teaching tools. Your supervised field experiences will culminate in a semester of student teaching.
