Teaching Music to Grades Preschool-12
If you’re passionate about teaching music and impacting the lives of children and teens through music, consider a Music Education major. Taylor’s Music Education program will provide you with the educational training to teach music to grades Preschool-12, inspiring the next generation to love and appreciate music through its fundamentals, history, theory, and practice.
You will learn to adjust your lessons based on a student’s musical experience, approach the assessment of musical ability, manage a classroom, and implement education methods.
This program provides certification for either Instrumental/General PreK-12 or Choral/General PreK-12, approved by the Indiana Department of Education and accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation.
Begin assisting in local music classrooms during your freshman year, and gain more teaching responsibility over the next few years, culminating with student teaching full time during your senior year. The semester is split between two placements in different schools, teaching different grade levels. By the time you graduate from Taylor, you will be confident in the classroom and ready to conduct middle school or high school ensembles.
