Program Overview
The graduate programs (M.Ed. and M.A.) in Music Education are part of the graduate offerings in the Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy.
The Program actively encourages cross-faculty involvement (e.g., with the School of Music). Specializations include: conducting (choral and instrumental), pedagogy, curriculum development, distance education and distributive learning, early childhood music, cultural studies, music and media studies, evaluation and assessment, music psychology, new media and music technologies, and teacher education. Research approaches include ethnography, experimental and correlational research, historical research, narrative inquiry and other forms of arts-based educational research, and philosophical and critical analysis.
