Pedagogy Emphasis

Bachelor of Arts in Music

If you’d like to teach music but think you’d be better suited to teaching in a private studio setting, consider an emphasis in Music Pedagogy. Choose from a vocal, piano or instrumental concentration. All students fulfill a piano proficiency requirement, demonstrating ability in four-part reading, accompaniment and improvisation. You’ll also attend and participate in music functions—concerts, recitals and more.

Uniqueness

As a Christ-centered, service-focused university, MNU offers a perfect environment to study music. You’ll develop your performance skills in the context of music as ministry; a meaningful way of inspiring others and touching their lives.

With more than 40,000 square feet of state-of-the-art facilities, the new Bell Center brings culture to campus in a new way. The 540-seat Mabee Performing Arts hall offers an exceptionally high-tech sound environment with the best in audiovisual equipment, offering an ideal environment for musical performances

Practicum

An important part of the pedagogy emphasis is the opportunity for you to experience being a private teacher while under supervision.  The practicum serves as a capstone course for the program.
