Students who major in music education elect general, vocal, or instrumental music emphasis. Music education majors are provided with innovative music instruction opportunities at all levels. These include hands-on, pilot, or research programs in instrumental, choral, and pre-K music education in the Rochester City School District, performance and presentation opportunities in local schools, and nationally recognized programs offered through Eastman Community Music School. In recent years, the department has boasted a 100% placement rate of its graduates seeking employment in music.
