<p>Sophie, if you do separate title searches on “music ed” and “music education”, you find about two and a half pages on each. Maybe this will help <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/892168-search-tips-other-insights.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/892168-search-tips-other-insights.html</a></p>
<p>Read through a number of them and you’ll see a few axioms that are oft repeated:</p>
<p>*Understand that a music ed degree is designed to provide the skills and prerequisites to qualify for initial or provisional state granted certification and license to teach in a k-12 public school.
*There are variations in each state’s requirements. It is often best to go to a school in the state you plan to teach.
*Based on the above, your state system could well be the most cost effective.
*Do not use teaching as a “fall back” or plan B. Have an honest intent to teach. If at all possible, get as much teaching and mentoring under your belt beforehand.
*The music ed curriculum is highly structured and sequenced, and is both time and credit intensive. It is extremely difficult to combine with any other major, other than another music discipline. And if you go that route, anticipate a five year time frame.</p>
<p>Just a sampling. A couple are more overview oriented than voice or the northeast.
