Bachelor of Music - Music Education: Classical (MSSPEEDUC)

This program is designed to prepare thoughtful, musically sensitive, passionate and technically skilled music educators to engage in music teaching and learning at all levels, and in many contexts. Music Education graduates are currently teaching in settings from preschools to universities and in a variety of community organizations. Some have pursued graduate work in music; others have chosen to combine careers as artist-teachers or have gone into related fields in the arts where their broad musical background has been an asset. For those students wishing to teach within the school system, a Bachelor of Education degree at a Faculty of Education must be completed following graduation. The Music Education program is designed to provide students with both breadth and depth in their musical studies. Students may identify an area or areas of specialty within Music Education (for example, elementary; choral; instrumental; world music; social change), but they are also encouraged to explore the richness of musical experiences offered.
