Our program leads to teaching certification in music for grades K-12. Our supportive professors and staff blend foundational study with hands-on field-based learning. Small class sizes and an excellent student-to-teacher ratio allow our faculty time to focus on individual students. A local, full-time student teaching placement in your senior year will cap your studies, preparing you for subject matter testing and teaching certification.
Opportunities
Successful completion of this course of study, along with passing the necessary Michigan Test(s) for Teacher Certification, qualifies the student for recommendation for the Michigan Department of Education Secondary Standard Certificate with a K-12 music endorsement, enabling a music teaching career in public and/or private school settings. Our graduates are serving in every educational environment imaginable. From the urban schools of Detroit, the surrounding suburban areas, to the rural communities, EMU alumni serve students and communities with distinction.
