MM in Music Education

Delivered via: Internet, Practicum, Onsite Instruction

The Master of Music Education does not lead to teaching certification; rather it is a degree program designed to enhance your teaching with a practical curriculum designed for the working teacher. Most students take 1–2 classes online during the school year while teaching and come to campus in person to take Modern Band, Dalcroze, or Orff Schulwerk training. Courses are also available online during the summer. Students may also specialize in the teaching of general music with a Graduate Certificate in Orff Schulwerk.

Those interested in more details should contact Dr. Martina Vasil.
