Overview

To more fully realize these ideals, the Music Teaching and Learning program of University of Rochester prepares students to become articulate leaders, to develop greater understanding of learning and teaching processes, and to develop broad perspectives of music and education in contemporary cultures.

Key facts

The graduates include successful public and community school music teachers, music professors at major universities, leaders in professional music organizations, and performers of note in various venues throughout the world.

Graduate student music education majors choose between degree programs in the division of professional studies (Master of Music and Doctor of Musical Arts) and the division of research studies (Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy). These degree programs offer many options for professional development in music education. The MM and DMA programs provide students with a music education degree that has a strong performance component. Admission to these programs requires a successful instrumental or vocal audition. The MA and PhD degree programs emphasize research, and do not require an audition for admission.
