A music education equips students with comprehensive training in performance, music history, and theory, alongside pedagogical methods. Graduates pursue careers as K-12 music educators, directing bands, orchestras, choirs, and classroom instruction nationwide. The program emphasizes developing both exceptional teachers and skilled musicians. While teacher preparation remains central, music education majors receive rigorous musical training comparable to performance majors. Students benefit from world-class instruction across all instruments and voice from distinguished faculty. The curriculum includes performance opportunities in premier ensembles such as the University Chorale, Symphony Orchestra, Wind Symphony, Jazz Ensembles, and various choral and instrumental groups.
