Our Music Education Major Equips Future Educators to Blend Musicianship With Effective Teaching Practices.
The Music Education program prepares students to obtain multi-age licensure in music for teaching ages 3-21. Students perform throughout the year in traditional formal and non-traditional informal concerts, recitals, and gigs. Professional musicians who are active in the regional and national performance scenes, as well as in the international academic field, guide students in their study of music. A low student-to-faculty ratio sets the stage for valuable mentoring relationships. While at the Mount, students will engage in performances in academic, athletic, religious, and community settings. An audition is required for initial acceptance into this program.
The Mount’s location in Cincinnati provides students with a wealth of musical opportunities. Minutes away are professional orchestras, Broadway touring theater productions, and all the benefits of a metropolitan city.
