MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAM

The Music Education program develops in music students the knowledge, skills and dispositions necessary to become certified music teachers (K – 12) who transform information into knowledge, knowledge into judgment, and judgment into action. Starting with a conceptual framework that "Teaching Is Prepared Performance," the Music Education Program seeks to prepare music educators for this role. Learning goals for students focus upon content knowledge, knowledge of the learner, diversity, instructional methodology, communication skills, reflective-assessment strategies, collaboration and shared inquiry, and educational technology.
