Long regarded as an important center in the development of music education, the Department of Music Education's exceptional range and depth of programs provide the specialization and breadth of training to meet both the individual needs of students and the demands of today's music educators. The department's mission is to provide the future educator with the necessary knowledge for successful teaching: intensive training as a musician, theoretical and practical education as a teacher, and a sound general college education. The faculty strives to refine and promote the exchange of musical skills and information between teacher and student in both group and studio teaching. Music education students also benefit from participation in orchestras, choirs, bands, and smaller ensembles under the direction of eminent faculty and guest conductors.
