The Music Education MA program is for music teachers seeking advanced skills in music and pedagogy. The program also fosters a balance of theory and practice to nurture musical maturity, reflective teaching practice and educational leadership. Graduate students may participate in large and small ensembles for credit or non-credit. Participation is subject to the ensemble director’s approval. A field project is the capstone experience in this program. Each student identifies a problematic issue within their own classroom and designs an action research project addressing the issue. Students working on their field project have ongoing support from a faculty mentor.
