| D is going to start her studies as an undergraduate vocal performance major in the fall (BM degree with an emphasis on musical theatre.) Although her school offers a music ed degree, she decided to concentrate more on performance and feels that she can make up the education credits in a master's degree program if she decides to teach someday. Although she will not be able to teach initially with the BM in VP degree, she would probably need to complete only a certain number of ed credits on the masters level before she could pursue the same jobs as someone graduating with an undergrate music ed degree. In NY state a master degree in music is required for certification in either case. |
