The music education program prepares students for licensure as music teachers in the public schools. Through excellent collaboration between the University and area school districts and teachers, music education students have a variety of opportunities for observation and student teaching. This track allows students to specialize in instrumental settings for careers in music education that focus on band and orchestra.
