Share Your Love of Music
In the Music Education (Pre K-12), B.M., major, you will learn how to teach music from professors who have extensive classroom experience.
You can choose between programs for choral/general and instrumental music. Both qualify you for licensure for age three through grade 12 in Ohio and many other states.
You will be well-prepared, with 100 hours of field experiences in urban, suburban, and rural schools before you student-teach, and you will receive close mentoring and personal attention as you pursue your passion for music education.
