C&I Specialist: Music

The Music Curriculum and Instruction Specialist Concentration offers three tracks: lecture-recital, collaborative research and thesis.

  • The lecture-recital track allows students to combine research and performance.
  • The thesis track allows students to develop music research tools, focus on an area of study pertinent to the field, research, write, and present that body of work.
  • The collaborative research track allows students to develop research projects in concert with their current teaching situations. All three tracks are designed for musicians currently teaching at all levels in the school system who wish to improve teaching skills and deepen their knowledge in a particular area of music.

A recognized undergraduate degree in music education, a video of teaching or rehearsal and a valid Collegiate Professional Teaching License or equivalent from another state are required for admission.

 

Advising

Newly admitted students are assigned the appropriate advisor. The assignment of the advisor generally is not changed unless the student changes his/her degree program. Prior to registration, students are encouraged to consult with their academic advisor regarding course selection and sequence, career goals, and relevant academic policies. Although the academic advisor assists students with curriculum decisions and options, the student bears full responsibility for meeting graduation requirements.
