First time posting! My DS, who’s currently a junior, is looking at a possible degree in music education. We get the difference between a BA and a BM, but noticed that some schools offer a Bachelor of Music Education (BME). What is the difference (if any) between a BME and a BM in music education?
My son is a music Ed major one semester from graduation and I do not know the answer to this question. I suspect there is no difference. My son’s degree will be Bachelor of Music in General, choral, and instrumental music (teacher certification). I see one of the other schools he applied to offered a BMEd degree and it looks the same.

Generally BME majors have less performance classes to allow time for music education classes and practicum. You can look at the degree requirements for specific schools to see the difference. We looked at IU Jacobs and their BME is very different from BM.
