Overview

Key Features

Throughout both the bachelor’s and master’s of music education programs, music teacher candidates are given opportunities to connect theory to practice by observing and teaching in schools and local communities.

The music education faculty includes a specialist in each area of music education (instrumental, choral, general) who teach undergraduate and graduate courses and continue to work as classroom practitioners with area students. In addition, the music education faculty engage in research to further best practices in the field.

The Music, Performance - Piano program at the University of Central Arkansas allows music teacher candidates to complete their degree and the requirements for K-12 licensure in the state of Arkansas. Music teacher candidates have the opportunity to experience dynamic music learning environments and research-based practice through pre-professional field experiences starting in the sophomore year.

Together with the College of Education, our undergraduate program develops outstanding teachers for work in school music programs. We are proud that nearly 100% of our music education graduates go on to teach in school settings or pursue advanced degrees.
