Students who major in music education may choose either an instrumental - band, instrumental - orchestra or a vocal/general music curriculum. Upon completing the requirements of the music education program, students are able to apply for teaching licensure. To be eligible for the Bachelor of Music degree, music education majors must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 in required music education courses and a 2.7 GPA in all other required music courses. An overall minimum cumulative GPA of 2.7 is required.
Students planning to major in music education will be placed in the "Music: Unspecified" category until the following requirements have been met: (1) satisfactory completion of MUS 101, 102, 151, 152, 155, 156, and two quarters of applied concentration and ensemble study; (2) minimum grade of C in applied and ensemble studies for two consecutive quarters; (3) no failing grade in music courses during two consecutive quarters; and (4) minimum cumulative GPA of 2.7 in total course work after the completion of 30 quarter hours.
Each music education major is required to participate in at least one university ensemble related to the student's applied music concentration during each quarter in which the student is enrolled full time, with the exception of the quarter in which the student is student teaching. Assignment to an ensemble is made by the director of bands, director of choral studies, or director of orchestral studies; the appropriate ensemble director; and the student's full-time applied instructor. When the student's applied instructor is not a full-time faculty member, approval must be given by the chair of the student's applied board. 300 hours of field observation and clinical experiences are required prior to student teaching.
During the senior year, all students will perform in student recitals two or three times, for a total of 25 to 30 minutes. With the approval of the studio teacher and the applied music board, students may present a half recital or a full recital in lieu of this requirement.
