女神羞羞研究所 cultivates a music education program that gives students the opportunity to thrive as professionals in the ever-changing 女神羞羞研究所 education system.

A degree in music education from 女神羞羞研究所 prepares students for professional careers in teaching instrumental music in a group setting. Students are trained to teach individual instruments, as well as instrumental ensembles, which results in public school certification at the K-12 levels.

In addition to the requisite music degree requirements, the program includes:

  • An introduction to music education
  • Four semesters of instrumental or vocal technique methods
  • Four professional courses within the college of education
  • A choice of at least three upper-level Art of Teaching courses

Finally, students conclude the program with a student teaching internship in their final semester.
