Music Education major

The difference between existing and living resides in our ability to enjoy the arts…My job as a music teacher will be to prepare individuals for life outside of their career. I get to study the command God has given us for thousands of years; praising him through song.

Impact lives through music!
You will be equipped to teach students to pursue excellence in their music and use it to reach people in unique ways.
An essential step in beginning a major in music is the audition. Its purpose is to evaluate your background and determine your potential as a music student. The audition contains three components: performance, interview and questions/answers. As part of the audition, you will need to perform two to three contrasting works from the standard repertoire in your field of study. We highly recommend early auditions for all applicants. Auditions can be scheduled as part of a campus visit.
