Master of Music Education
The Master of Music Education (M.M.Ed.) degree program is intended for new and experienced music teachers who seek advanced study in music curriculum and instruction. Applicants for this degree will have completed a bachelor’s degree in music education at an accredited institution and will have obtained their teacher certification. Part-time and summers-only programs of study are available for teachers who hold full-time teaching positions. The Music Education department strongly urges applicants to complete one year of experience in the field before beginning an M.M.Ed. degree. Candidates for the Master of Music Education have the option of pursuing a non-thesis course of study that focuses on teaching pedagogy and teaching techniques or a thesis-required course of study (academic year only) that focuses on methodological, historical, or experimental research. Non-thesis emphases include pedagogy, technology, Kodály, choral conducting, and wind band conducting. Thesis-required emphases include early childhood and research. Thesis-track students must have one year of full-time teaching experience. The M.M.Ed. consists of 37-42 credits that include (a) 13 credits of music education core courses, (b) 12 credits of music history and music theory courses, and (c) 12-15 credits of music education emphasis courses. Master of Music Education programs must be completed within five years from the date of matriculation. 9 credits from the following:
Other Studies (12 credits)

Students are expected to be in a performing organization each semester of full-time enrollment. If qualified, students may elect to perform in additional performing ensembles. Summers Only Master of Music Education
Hartt’s Music Education Division offers non-thesis emphases for summer-only study: Kodály and Pedagogy. The M.M.Ed. can be completed in three summers.
