The Master of Music Education Experience

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. We have long been known for offering hallmark programs in education and music education. Our dedicated alumni teach and lead in many school districts in our region.

Experiential Courses

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 cumulating experience will be a live concert promoting the pedagogies for a modern band curriculum.

Relevant to Working Teachers

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. This means you will skip the basics and take an advanced curriculum.

Modern Band Certification

As part of completing your Master of Music Education, you will earn your Modern Band Certificate. The curriculum in our certificate program complements your current teaching practices but draws on student-selected popular music to help learners play instruments more quickly.

The courses in our Modern Band Certificate program qualify for the Act 48 Continuing Education Credits towards professional development.

In Their Words

I was a section leader in The Pride of The Valley Marching Band with Dr. Heffner. I conducted the pit orchestra for Wig and Buckle Theater, performed in flute ensemble, jazz band, symphonic band, orchestra, and concert choir. I even had a radio show for a semester. I signed up for anything that would give me the knowledge and skills to better teach students.

Our music education program consists of individuals that care deeply about the community of the program. Our students aren’t just studying music education at LVC, they are in a learning community that helps and cares for one another in their music education classes, ensembles, and all throughout campus.
