About the course

With emphases in instrumental, choral or music education and plenty of faculty mentorship, classroom time, and hands-on, school-based learning, students graduate prepared to teach full-time as music educators.

　　With degrees at the undergraduate, masters and doctoral levels, the music education area seeks to prepare students to become music educators of the highest professional caliber by offering a comprehensive curriculum based on cutting-edge research, providing ongoing mentorship from engaged faculty, and involving students in hands-on school-based learning throughout their academic experience.

　　Undergraduate music education majors choose instrumental, choral, or general music as areas of emphases. Depending on their instrument or voice, they gain expertise from the School of Music's more than 20 choirs, orchestras, bands and performing ensembles. Undergraduate students develop as music educators through coursework and personal guidance from faculty mentors. They also develop teaching skills through early and intensive field experiences in classrooms.

　　During their freshman year, they begin to observe and work with public school music teachers and progress to onsite pre-service teaching experiences, culminating in a final student teaching semester. These hands-on experiences prepare graduates to be effective music teachers. The coursework meets the requirements for a K-12 music teaching endorsement from the Utah State Office of Education.
