Master of Music Education (Summers Only)

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.

Hartt’s Music Education Division offers several non-thesis emphases for summer-only study: Kodály, Wind Band or Choral Conducting, and Pedagogy. The M.M.Ed. can be completed in three summers. Master of Music Education students may take Summerterm workshops to fulfill degree requirements. For further information about Summerterm study go to www.hartford.edu/Hartt/summerterm.
