Music Education Major (B.Mus.)

"Our music education curriculum at Cornell College offers students valuable hands-on experiences from conducting our major ensembles to many teaching opportunities in both of our Methods and Materials courses. In addition, students are offered two practicum experiences specific to music that offer them the opportunity to work alongside area professionals. And most importantly, music education students benefit from a heavy dose of individualized attention from a close-knit faculty and learn the value of a strong community."-Professor of Music and Director of Choral Music Christopher Nakielski
