BSED Secondary Education – Music Education

The foundation of this program is the core music curriculum centered on music theory, history, performance studies, and lesson requirements, including participation in major ensembles and chamber ensembles. You will also take fundamental courses in educational philosophy and pedagogical studies so you may excel as a teacher in a variety of settings – from the elementary music classroom to the high school concert stage. 
The BSEd in Music Education conforms with the National Standards for Arts Education and the New York State Learning Standards for the Arts. You will graduate with initial certification as a teacher of music in New York state, ready to work with instrumental, choral, and general music students in preK-12.
