This specialization prepares students to teach musical instruments in both individual and group environments, as well as lead school music ensembles on a larger scale. The instrumental segment delves into teaching methodologies, covering metacognitive approaches, modeling techniques, and considerations like repertoire choice, student engagement, and administrative/legal duties. For the ensemble portion, students examine the foundations of ensemble programs while honing essential conducting abilities, expanding their repertoire familiarity, sharpening aural skills, and fostering director-student dynamics. Practical, hands-on ensemble experiences form the core of this component.
