Eastern Washington University

The Master of Music in Music Education online degree program prepares you to teach and lead at an advanced level by enhancing your knowledge of music best practices, research and cutting-edge approaches. You will explore issues in social justice and critical philosophy, well-known teaching methods, technological advances, strategies for music theory and composition and much more.

This NASM-accredited music education online program offers rigorous coursework taught by the same internationally recognized faculty who teach on campus. The curriculum features project-based learning, including a graduate project related to scholarly exploration. A variety of topics enable you to explore your areas of interest or expertise as well as prepare you for the General Music endorsement test.

The music education program consists of 12 online courses, culminating with an independent project in lieu of a general oral examination or thesis defense. Your professor will advise you throughout the process, and the result will highlight your growth, knowledge and abilities. This professional degree does not lead directly to teaching certification.
