Overview

At the Kansas Wesleyan University we offer a bachelor degree in Music Education (PreK-12). They may participate in large scale musicals, operas and concerts through partnerships with theatre companies and a regional symphony.

Additionally, students are able to tailor their course of study to match their specific interest or goals, such as instrumental conducting, composition or operatic solo singing. Private voice and instrument lessons are also offered to our students.

Because of these unique small-school advantages, graduates from KWU enter the community as well-rounded citizens and musicians, possessing the skills needed to be successful in their careers.

Career

What can I do with this degree?

Performing and teaching are the two most common careers in music. The first path is finding a job in an orchestra or professional ensemble—or in a cast, for Music Theatre majors.

The second path is teaching, either in a high school or university, the latter of which actually requires an additional degrees on top of a Bachelor’s in most instances. An excellent combination is playing and teaching simultaneously.

Musicians typically combine multiple jobs with multiple income streams to support themselves and their families, and to experience fulfilling careers.

Performance and non-performance work do not have to be mutually exclusive; many fields allow musicians to do both. Some careers require graduate education—such as college-level teaching and conducting—or additional training beyond what you’ll find in an undergraduate program.
