My daughter was not sure last year about performance or music education. She has discovered her passion is with teaching though she would like to continue performing as time allows. She was to study the voice in as much depth as possible in addition to being proficient on the other instruments. The problem she is running into is that very few music education programs on the west coast offer pedagogy and diction as part of the curriculum. She would have to double major which is possible as there is some crossover in the first 2 years but I am told music education majors already have more units than the other music majors. Are there others who have faces this dilemma? She could add the classes but were cautioned that she not exceed the number of units allowed. She plans on getting advanced degrees.
