The Music Education-Choral degree program encompasses teacher-training studies in vocal/general music. Vocal, piano and guitar students desiring to teach receive through courses in general music and choral music methods. Students are exposed to various teaching techniques, learning structures and school environments through a variety of field experience opportunities (pre-school through secondary levels) structured to develop the prospective teachers' ability to teach music effectively to every student—regardless of age and ability. Students complete a a one year student teaching internship in the public school during the senior year. The degree culminates in a Tennessee State Licensure/Certification for public school K-12.
