Overview

This is a Music Education specific program in which students engage in pedagogy, history, theory, research, teaching, and performance. Here at Georgia College we offer specialized courses to meet the unique needs of teachers in elementary school music education, choral music education, or instrumental music education.

Our Students

Throughout the program, students will

develop new curricula,

engage in action and/or scholarly research,

and develop new musical and/or pedagogical research that contributes to the body of knowledge and practice.

In the capstone, they will select a project from one of their courses, refine it, and submit it for publication and/or presentation in appropriate venues.

Students engage with in-service and pre-service teachers from many different areas, specializations, and backgrounds in a variety of music education-related courses.

Courses such as Community and Philosophical Music Perspectives and American Music and Politics are specifically designed to challenge preconceived notions of the role music education plays in society.

This expansion of thought contributes to our student’s preparation for the profession. Graduates from this program are prepared to become policy makers and mentors in music teaching.
