Begin your journey to becoming a music educator from day one at Bowling Green State University. Our esteemed music education program combines academic rigor, artistic excellence, and practical teaching skills under the guidance of top-tier faculty.
The curriculum starts with foundational music courses (including theory, ear training, and history), then progresses to instrument-specific technique classes and specialized teaching methods for choral, instrumental, or general music education. Throughout the program, students gain real-world experience through classroom observations, hands-on teaching opportunities, and culminating with student teaching.
This comprehensive degree leads to certification for teaching music at all grade levels, covering choral, band, orchestral, and general music instruction. Students benefit from diverse teaching environments including partner schools and community programs, all supervised by faculty mentors before their final student teaching placement.
