The School for the Arts has an active music education program that provides opportunities for classroom participation, along with intensive performance study. Music education students train in the teaching of singing, conducting, the use of instruments, creative movement, and improvisation.
Students also take courses in child growth and development and in the history of education.
Students who participate in this program are key members of a team whose goal is to provide primary and secondary school students with entirely new opportunities for learning. Students applying for entrance into the music education major, whether in their freshman year or as transfer students, must complete an application, audition, and interview with a member of the music education faculty.
