Applied Vocal Music Education Minor Overview
The applied vocal performance minor enables you to take a sampling of courses to help you further your understanding in vocal performance and production coupled with a methods course designed for elementary school teachers. You will take four semesters of private applied voice lessons along with a vocal ensemble. You will also take courses in music theory, sight-singing, class piano, music appreciation and elementary music methods. Many students who enjoyed their high school music experience elect to take a minor in vocal music performance to complement their major courses of study or to prepare for entrance into a major program of music. Students planning to teach music in elementary schools (pre-kindergarten through grade six) should seek teacher licensure through a major in early childhood education, elementary education or special education, offered through the Teacher Education Department.
