Music Education - Free Will Baptist Bible College

Music Education from Free Will Baptist Bible College is a Campus Bachelor Teaching degree that prepares you for a Education career. The College offers this program, which combines its music major with a General Education core and Professional Education core to prepare a student to teach music in the Christian, public, or private school, grades K-12, or to continue music education at the graduate level. This program is constructed to meet all requirements of the Tennessee State Department of Education for licensure to teach music in grades K-12. Licensure also requires successful completion of the Praxis II Assessments (formerly National Teacher's Examination), including the Specialty Area test in Music , according to minimum scores set by the Tennessee State Department of Education . Given the full range of professional training included in this program (in music, education, Biblical studies, and general education), a student will need to plan for completion in five years, not four. This is not uncommon in music education , and the College's program offers the added dimension of a Biblical perspective that serves to prepare the music teacher for an effective witness and ministry. The objectives of this program include those stated for the Biblical Studies Major, the General Education core, and the Professional Education core common to all teacher education programs. The graduate should also be able to demonstrate: (1) the music skills and techniques that are demanded in the various disciplines cultivated in this program of study; (2) understanding and appreciation for the development of the music of the Western civilization as related both to life in general and to the music of the school and church; (3) ability to teach either conducting, vocal, and general music or instrumental music in grades K-12 and efficiently organize and direct elementary, middle, and secondary music programs in either Christian or public schools; (4) ability to evaluate music needs and arrange or compose choral music to meet those needs; (5) understanding of the historical, philosophical, and sociological foundations underlying music education in America, whether in public or Christian education; (6) ability to perform with skill.
