Bachelor of Music - Music Education

Music is art in sound, universally beloved and an essential part of every culture on earth. People around the world use music to celebrate, commemorate, communicate, worship, and share their deepest emotions—to express what words cannot. Students who major in music can focus on the art of performing, the history of music, music technology, the role of music in culture, and methods of teaching music. The music education program offers options that lead to Washington state teaching certification in general music, instrumental music, and choral music. There is also a teaching option for students who don't need state certification. To teach music in middle school or high school, you'll need to earn a bachelor’s degree in music and complete education course work with the College of Education to earn teacher certification in your chosen area(s) of music.
