Principles and General Methods of Music Education

Catalog description

This serves as the gateway course to the teacher music education program. An overview of school organization, management techniques, goals, objectives, assessment, technology, curriculum preparation, unit planning, and diversity as a knowledge base for K-12 music teachers is developed through student projects. Students participate in a 30-hour field experience in area schools. The portfolio checkpoint required for admission to Teacher Education will occur during this course. A C grade or better is required in this course to be admitted to Teacher Education. The field observation component requires the student to carry professional liability insurance, a current and valid TB test, and obtain a Missouri Volunteer and Employee Criminal History Service (MOVECHS) FBI fingerprinting background check. Prerequisite: MUS 148 .
