Instrumental Jazz Track
The Bachelor of Music (B.M.) in Music Education prepares students for a career as a music educator in all learning environments. The Instrumental Music Education Jazz curriculum emphasizes collaborative interaction, individual creativity, musical proficiency, and pedagogy as well as historical and cultural perspectives through a unique jazz curriculum which is integrated into the Music Education degree.
All music education students conduct a minimum of 100 hours of pre-clinical field experiences in K-12 music classrooms where they apply their newly acquired music pedagogy to offer quality and meaningful musical learning experiences to K-12 students. The knowledge that develops during this field work enhances their understanding of teaching in diverse educational settings and prepares the candidate for student teaching. Throughout pre-clinical and clinical work, music education students provide artistic experiences that further enriches the lives of K-12 students.
