The Nazareth College Music Department is moving to meet the changes that are
being encountered in the areas of technology, subject information, and learning.
Music Education students must be involved in knowing and maintaining a fixed
body of knowledge that has been passed on to preserve while continuing to
incorporate new ideas and knowledge into the discipline. The curriculum of the
Music Education Program is designed to offer students advanced instruction in
curriculum, pedagogy, musicianship, research methods, and various topics in both
music and music education. Additionally, the program addresses the needs of the
music educator by providing an opportunity for personal growth in students’ own
musicianship through courses in music history, music theory, and applied study.
