音乐教育学士

该大学为希望获得中小学教学许可的学生提供音乐教育学士（BME）学士学位。音乐教育专业的学生可以在两种集中度中进行选择：“合唱/普通集中度或乐器/普通集中度”，每一种都将导致印第安纳州幼儿园12的教学许可。学生还可以在学位课程中添加合唱或器乐选择，从而获得完整的K-12许可。公立学校中的课程工作，观察和教学，以及参加专业组织的准备，为学生成功的教学事业做好了准备。此外，学生还与当地学校一起参加了几个特殊的合作音乐计划（乐器和语音教练，计算机合成，合奏支持）。
The University offers a bachelor of music education (BME) for students who wish to obtain licensure to teach in elementary and secondary schools. Music education students choose between two concentrations-the choral/general education concentration or the instrumental/general education concentration-each of which leads to Indiana kindergarten-12 teaching licensure. Students also may add a choral or instrumental option to their degrees, resulting in full K-12 licensure. Coursework, observation and teaching in the public school setting, and participation in professional organizations prepare students for a successful teaching career. In addition, students participate in several special collaborative music programs (instrument and voice coaching, computer composition, ensemble support) with local schools. The program culminates in a semester-long student teaching assignment. Students are placed at two schools in order to gain hands-on experience at both primary and secondary levels. Expert University music faculty provide direct supervision of student teachers, who also receive invaluable guidance from the cooperating teacher.<br><br>The Music Education Program has a strong heritage of training highly qualified music teachers since the institution's founding in 1865-and continues to attract students challenged and excited by the prospect of educating young people in the rewarding field of music. Our graduates have achieved distinction throughout the State of Indiana, the nation, and the world as inspiring teachers, renowned performing artists, and visionary music business leaders. The School of Music takes great pride in the many outstanding music education graduates who teach in public and private schools in Indiana and throughout the country. These alumni have distinguished themselves in the elementary school general music classroom, as middle school band, chorus, jazz, orchestra, and general teachers, and as high school band, chorus, jazz, and orchestra directors.
