About the course
This new hybrid program is open to students with bachelors degrees in either music education or composition and equips students to pursue a career in the field of educational composition. Students take advanced coursework in scoring and arranging for educational ensembles, curriculum development for composition in K-12 classrooms, music theory and history, and applied composition lessons. Students in the program will have multiple opportunities to have their works performed and recorded by local student ensembles. The collaborations between composers and music educators have been a cornerstone of American music life since the countrys inception. Every year, thousands of original compositions are created expressly for K-12 music students, and countless professional composers have created substantial careers writing for this market. However, many students who have completed degrees in music composition have little training in writing for younger musicians or the types of ensembles found in American schools.
