It’s widely known that learning an artistic skill can have positive effects on a person’s cognitive function. However, the arts typically take a backseat when it comes to school programs that need funding. The field’s uncertainty increases the competitive nature of a career in music education. Fortunately, one university is making it easier for professionals pursuing the field to find work. The University of Georgia Hugh Hodgson School of Music recently announced that it will offer a new online Master of Music Education degree program.
Without the basic foundation of musical talent, it may be difficult to communicate challenging concepts and show natural enthusiasm for the subject. Fortunately, many of those pursuing this career are typically passionate about the field, and are innately focused on bettering their musicianship. Those interested in music education will benefit from being part of a performance group themselves so they’re constantly honing their skill and sparking their passion.
In addition to this skill, the source noted that it’s also important to be an effective entrepreneur. It’s likely that during your career as a music educator, you’ll be assigned the task of recruiting performers. You need to be able to market your offerings and get students excited to be a part of your group. A degree in music education and a natural passion for the field should make recruiting an interesting part of the job.
