Music Education
Welcome to Music Education at Wright State University. My name is Bill Jobert and I serve as Coordinator of Music Education. The Music Education Committee is made up of the faculty members who teach our conducting courses, music pedagogy courses, and music education sequenced courses. These faculty members represent years of elementary and secondary music teaching experience and continue to work with students of all ages through honor bands and choirs, summer music camps, marching bands, children’s choirs, and private studio teaching. Every year members of the Music Education Committee presen
Music Education is the largest program in the Music Department here at Wright State University. Our program emphasizes a comprehensive approach to learning, encouraging music majors to apply their knowledge of pedagogy, literature, conducting into project based outcomes.
While attending Wright State University, our music majors gain valuable experiences working on the teaching staffs of area marching bands and winter drumlines, assisting with school musicals, coaching chamber ensembles at local schools, and conducting and accompanying church choirs. Graduates from our program teach in successful music programs throughout Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, and Texas and earn graduate assistantships and fellowships at universities across the country.
Last year Wright State University changed from a quarter system to semesters and it gave us a chance to redesign our education curriculum and to create many new course offerings. . We hope you will give us a close look as you make your decisions to pursue a career in music education.
Sincerely,
Bill Jobert
