Pursue a Bachelor of Music Education in Ohio! Gain licensure for teaching music Pre-K to Grade 12. Apply now for hands-on teaching experience!
Two programs, both with licensure for age three through grade 12, are offered: choral/general program and instrumental music program. Both programs include 100 hours of field experiences in urban, suburban, and rural schools prior to student teaching. With successful completion of all degree requirements, a candidate applies for a State of Ohio Resident Educator License for Teaching Music, Pre-K through Grade 12. The State of Ohio has reciprocal agreements with many other states, whereby a person holding licensure in Ohio, under certain conditions, may receive licensure in other states that are part of the agreement. Majors are assigned full-time supervised teaching during fall or spring semester of the senior year. During this semester, a student teacher cannot participate in any ensembles or carry any other academic work except with special permission of the faculty. Admission to the music education program requires an audition and interview.
