THE THEORY PEDAGOGY PROGRAM

Master of Music in Theory Pedagogy 

Throughout their course of study, theory pedagogy students gain theoretical knowledge and practical experience under the guidance and supervision of a dedicated faculty with many years of experience teaching music theory at the secondary and college levels. Students have the opportunity to work with small undergraduate classes in music theory and musicianship as individual and small-group tutors, classroom assistants, and instructors. All student teaching is carefully supervised, observed and evaluated by experienced faculty.

Admission is very selective for the theory pedagogy degree program, and students are offered considerable individual attention, direct access to facilities and the camaraderie that only an exceptional program of small size can offer. Students wishing to look into the distinctive opportunities for study at 51°µÍø are encouraged to apply early.

Applicants for the Master of Music in Theory Pedagogy must apply to the Meadows School of the Arts and submit samples of their writing (essays or term papers). A personal interview with department faculty is strongly recommended.
