Overview

Aspects of the Program

Coursework of the Music Education program of Case Western Reserve University combines the study of philosophical, research-based, and theoretical positions of teaching and learning music with pragmatic approaches to improving music learning. The MA in Music Education helps prepare students for music leadership positions at a time when music teaching and learning – both in and out of the schools – is undergoing great change. Preparing informed music teachers who are at the forefront of this trend is central.

Program highlights include a supportive, collegial community of scholars that helps provide personalized attention to students, as well as practical experience gained by working alongside faculty who are internationally recognized as teachers, conductors, researchers, and authors. Graduate assistants work closely with faculty in the areas of research, teaching, and ensemble conducting. Part-time and full-time students receive substantial funding for tuition waivers and graduate assistantships.
