School of Music | Master of Music in Music Education

General Description

The Master of Music in Music Education is a two-year course of study designed to provide students with a broader perspective/knowledge of the various skills and techniques in music education.  While sustaining a tradition of excellence in music performance, SSC's School of Music in the past twenty (20) years, has developed a second emphasis in the field of music education (classroom teaching).  This expansion in thrust is paralleled by a remarkable growth in its library holdings such that a resource center for Music Education was established for use of alumnae and others.  The School of Music's existing network of music preparatory programs, performance groups, current technological equipment, among others, all stand ready to serve the laboratory phases of the curricula in the graduate level.  Lastly, with its outstanding faculty, SSC's School of Music is in a position to offer a graduate program in Music Education in response to requests made by numerous individuals and alumnae who desire to pursue post graduate studies in Music.  With this graduate program, SSC can make significant contributions to the musical life and development of the country.
