Key Facts

Students complete this program as skilled and informed musicians, able scholars and competent and enthusiastic teachers prepared for a professional career or graduate study. A specialization in music education typically leads to teaching music in public or private schools, in small-group settings, or in a private studio. However, students with this specialization also play professionally in symphony or studio orchestras and jazz groups; compose and arrange music; and perform recitals or in choruses, operas, oratorios and musical theater. Additional opportunities exist in music publishing, music management and sales, music criticism, music librarianship and private studio teaching.
