Music Education Undergraduate

Our current Bachelor of Music degree program prepares undergraduates to teach music in elementary and secondary schools. Students may specialize in vocal music, instrumental music, or piano. A core curriculum of interdisciplinary courses in the liberal arts enhances the intensive study of music, music theory and history, and music pedagogy. Student teaching in carefully selected public and independent schools takes place under the close supervision of experienced music teachers. Upon completion of the program, students meet the academic requirements for New York State certification as a teacher of music in grades K-12.

100% Placement 

Continuous development of each student's musicianship and artistry have marked our graduates as among the most prepared and inspired teachers in the field - reflected in the 100 percent placement record of graduates seeking K-12 teaching positions. Personal advisement, a hallmark of our program, allows us to respond effectively to individual needs and interests. The Music Education Program is committed to developing excellent and exceptional musicians.
