The music education major is designed to prepare students to become elementary and secondary school music teachers. The faculty of the Department of Music Education has identified three primary learning outcomes: effective teaching, musicianship, and critical thinking.

Music Education Learning Outcomes

Students will demonstrate effective aural skills, keyboard skills, and proficiency on secondary instruments necessary for effective modeling and instruction.

Critical Thinking Skills:

Students will critically observe and analyze music education field experiences.

Students will reflect critically upon and evaluate their own teaching in varied music learning contexts.
