No matter where you are in your teaching career, our MME degree program will meet your needs by presenting new approaches for teaching diverse student groups, global perspectives in music education, and contemporary pedagogies. You’ll strengthen your instructional expertise while exploring innovative approaches that can enhance student engagement and musical growth. We have long been known for offering hallmark programs in education and music education. Our dedicated alumni teach and lead in many school districts throughout our region.

You can immediately apply what you learn in the online music education courses to your classroom. Our Modern Band Certificate capstone—Modern Band: Composition and Performance Ensemble—also gives you the exciting opportunity to expand upon the proficiencies and methods learned in an ensemble setting through collaborative composition and improvisation. The culminating experience will be a live concert that demonstrates and reinforces the pedagogies of a modern band curriculum.

Our Master of Music Education online courses and summer residency are designed to help current educators strengthen their skills and take coursework not traditionally offered in undergraduate programs. Rather than revisiting foundational concepts, you’ll focus on advanced topics that support professional growth, instructional leadership, and contemporary music education practice.
