Music Education - Berklee College of Music

Music Education from Berklee College of Music is a Campus Bachelor Teaching degree that prepares you for a Education career. The student majoring in Music Education will develop skills, concepts, and methodologies in the following areas: music, including music theory and composition, musicianship, history, arranging, orchestration, improvisation, and conducting; teaching with technology; solo performance techniques acquired through private instrumental or vocal study; vocal and instrumental techniques, pedagogy and literature related to solo and ensemble performance; and the relationship of music to other fields of knowledge. The student will demonstrate these competencies through an actual field experience, a student teaching practicum for one semester in a public school environment. The student will work under a cooperating teacher and a college supervisor, and will be evaluated against the standards for teaching licensing as prescribed by the Massachusetts State Department of Education. Through study and interaction with instructors and supervisors, the student will develop an aesthetic vision of excellence in teaching that will enable him/her to analyze and think critically about teaching and learning, and in turn to foster students' creative and analytical skills, design various evaluative procedures, and use the results of these procedures to assess the effectiveness of instruction. The student will develop the ability to work effectively in groups through collaborative interaction with peers, students, and instructors, and to communicate clearly, understandably, and appropriately with teachers, students, and parents. The field of music education is a constantly changing one, and the student will develop sufficient content, theoretical, and pedagogical skills to cope with and readily adapt to changes in the field due to discoveries of ongoing research in learning as well as social, economic, and cultural changes.
