Cannon College of Arts and Sciences
Overview
Do you aspire to teach music or perform? Do you wish to pursue a career with an overall employment rate expected to grow 11 percent from 2006 to 2016 (http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos095.htm#outlook)? If so, pursuing a music degree at Wingate University may be right for you.
Wingate University’s Department of Music exists to provide music instruction of high quality to students enrolled in music degree programs. It offers performance opportunities in instrumental and vocal ensembles for all students as well as concerts, recitals and master classes for music students, the campus community and the public.
As a music education major (BME), you will be prepared for licensure to teach in the areas of choral, instrumental and/or general music in the public schools, grades K-12. The Bachelor of Arts in music allows for a flexible curriculum that includes classes from other areas of study. Against the backdrop of a liberal arts core, which all students must complete, a student may pursue a major in music with an emphasis in performance.
As a student in the Department of Music, you will benefit from a small faculty-to-student ratio, allowing for one-on-one educational experiences and enabling a supportive learning environment. The Wingate University Department of Music is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM).
