In addition to Music Education, Education, and General Education courses, students take private lessons in their primary instrument, study piano, and take courses in music theory and aural skill, music history, music technology, conducting, instrumental and vocal pedagogy. Students also perform in our large and small ensembles. An exciting component of the Music Education Program is the opportunity to travel internationally to study music, culture, and music teaching and learning in culturally diverse locations. It is a goal of the program that each student participate in at least one international opportunity during his or her time at UVM.
