Music Education

Extensive field experience is a hallmark of the Music Education program at Capital. Starting in the second year, students are placed in local school classrooms for a hands-on approach to learning. This means that you don’t wait for actual teaching experiences, they come early in your college studies, giving you the chance to apply classroom learning to in-class experience that much sooner.

While Ohio is the most common destination for teachers, Capital graduates are leading and teaching in different places throughout the country.

At Capital, we believe in giving our students the best training by offering practical courses that prepare you for teaching in any situation. And while all of our music education majors develop outstanding conducting, musicianship, and methods skills, you can choose to gain an emphasis in either instrumental or vocal music education.

Our student to faculty is 3:1, which means that our faculty can mentor, guide, and offer individualized feedback to every student. It’s what makes a music degree from Capital distinct.

Students planning to study Music Education need to complete a two-part process to gain admittance to the program.
