<p>I’m planning to go to the college in TN. It would be Free Will Baptist College in Nashville or Lemoyne-Owen College in Memphis. Their program leads to TN Teacher Licensure. My major will be Music.</p>
<p>Do you think it would be tough to get through the program?</p>
<p>I’ve heard that in UK, they work students pretty hard. They have lots of exams and assignments. So students have to spend lots of time studying and training in public schools. It’s very competitive. Students can’t even think about getting a part time job.</p>
<p>How about Tennessee?</p>
<p>I don’t have any personal experience with the requirements for becoming a music teacher. However, I believe it is competitive wherever you go. UT Knoxville has a big music school as does Belmont in Nashville.</p>
<p>As far as getting a job when you finish, it is also competitive. In our school district, the turnover rate for music teachers is very low. Many students begin studying performance music and switch to teaching.</p>
<p>So you may be looking for a school that isn’t as competitive as UK but you will have to consider who you will be competing with for jobs when you finish.</p>
