Rationale.
Candidates must
			 be able to work on musical problems by combining their capabilities in
			 performance; aural, verbal, and visual analysis; composition and improvisation;
			 history and repertory; and technology. Prospective teachers must demonstrate
			 achievement of professional, entry-level competence in the major area,
			 including significant technical mastery, capability to produce work and solve
			 professional problems independently, and a coherent set of
			 artistic/intellectual goals that are evident in their work. Prospective
			 teachers are expected to communicate musical ideas, concepts, and requirements
			 to professionals and laypersons related to the practice of the major field. The
			 standards build upon the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM)
			 standards and Alabama Core Teaching Standards.
EPPs with music programs accredited by NASM are not required to
				respond to Alabama's music-specific rules. EPPs seeking NASM accreditation must
				meet Rule 290-3-3-.35(2) and (2)(a) -(e). EPPs not intending to seek NASM
				accreditation must respond to Rule 290-3-3-.35(2) and (2)(f) -(l).
