Music Education

Music is fun. It’s soulful and impactful. Take your knowledge of music and help students develop their talent. Along with learning fundamental music skills at Butler, you learn music theory, piano skills, composition and methods. You can learn from professional musicians and use these skills to teach future generations. 

We offer leadership opportunities in ensembles and student organizations as you ground yourself in the pedagogy of music education, all in just your first two years. This means you gain solid experience faster than compared to four-year university students. Our program is also innovative in its approach, incorporating high-expectations, hands-on teaching experiences and increased opportunities to earn transfers scholarships to universities.
