MM Pedagogy
Graduate Pedagogy emphasis areas include: Instrumental, Keyboard or Vocal.
Students entering the Pedagogy Major seek specialization in the teaching of their particular performance area. A secondary but important emphasis is placed on performance.
Pedagogy majors are interested in establishing private teaching studio businesses and/or teaching in community colleges. Some will continue graduate study in doctoral programs leading to college and university teaching positions.
Pedagogy courses include two semesters of pedagogy and one semester of supervised teaching. Applied study and repertoire are also part of the major. Supporting music courses include research, theory, and history.
Minimum requirements for our masters of voice performance and voice pedagogy is to have one term of diction in the following languages; French, Italian, English, and German. It is also highly recommended that applicants have one year of language study in French, German, or Italian. Deficiencies may be assigned during the first year if a language course has not been successfully finished.
