Overview

The Master of Music Education with an emphasis on Peacebuilding and World Music Drumming from Elizabethtown College requires 34 credit hours of academic work including one week per-summer of face-to-face instruction.

Overview

This program is designed for certified, in-service teachers who are interested in embracing social-emotional learning, trauma-informed pedagogy, diverse cultures, and peacebuilding within music classrooms.

This is a low-residency program with over 90% of coursework delivered online. Students attend one in-person week each summer. Across three years, students will enroll in two World Music Drumming workshops during the in-person week.
