The music education concentration provides students with the knowledge, skills and musicianship to become an effective music educator. Studies in music theory, history, literature, ensemble performance and applied study give the student a strong foundation on which to build a successful teaching career. Classes in conducting, instrumental, choral and elementary techniques as well as music education philosophy develop the skills and knowledge needed for a rewarding career as a K-12 educator. These skills and knowledge are applied during field experiences as well as during the student teaching internship.
