Description
This degree program prepares students for careers in music teaching. Students completing this course of study are prepared to apply for Maine state teacher certification for kindergarten through grade 12. Certification applications must be accompanied by scores from the Praxis I national teaching exam taken during the sophomore year, and the Praxis II exam taken before student teaching. Students are advised to meet with their advisor if they are seeking teaching certification in states other than Maine. Because a person must first be a good musician in order to be a good music educator, the program includes substantial work in music theory, ear training, music history, applied music, ensembles, and conducting, in addition to music education methods courses and field experiences. Students elect (1) instrumental concentration, (2) vocal concentration, or (3) a combined program which includes major portions of both the instrumental and vocal concentrations. Costs to attend USM are based on enrollment in 30 credits per year. To apply to USM see: http://www.usm.maine.edu/admit/apply.html.
