Overview

Studies in music theory, history, literature, ensemble performance, and applied study gives students a strong foundation on which to build a successful teaching career.

Classes in conducting, instrumental, choral, and elementary techniques as well as music education philosophy develop the skills and knowledge needed for a rewarding career as a K-12 educator.

These skills and knowledge are applied during field experiences as well as during the student teaching internship.

As a Music Education K-12 student at Colorado Mesa University , you will gradually accumulate over 200 hours of observation and field experience before beginning student teaching. School districts throughout western Colorado provide opportunities to gain experience with children of all ages and backgrounds in a variety of school settings.

Mission

The Colorado Mesa University Career Services provides resources and guidance for students and alumni in their journey toward reaching their career goals. We take an active role in providing career exploration, workshops, events, and on-campus employer visits to encourage students to investigate and gain information while creating their career path. We also help employers make campus connections to build relationships toward meeting their recruitment needs and hiring goals.
