Description
Heather Waters, Coordinator of Music Education Performing Arts Center, Room 209 p – (516) 237-8649 f – (516) 877-4286 e – hwaters@adelphi.edu The Bachelor of Science in Music Education is a 4-year program that leads to Pre K-12 Certification in Music from the New York State Education Department. The degree prepares students for careers as music teachers at the elementary and secondary levels in general, vocal, and instrumental music. Our undergraduate program is unique in that there is a strong focus on Zoltán Kodály’s ideals in all methods classes. Kodály’s vision and philosophy have led to a music education pedagogy that emphasizes music literacy using authentic folk songs, traditional children’s songs and games, classical masterworks, and world music. The methodology evolves from the sequential development of music skills, and is a singing-based curriculum that is underscored by the importance of active music making at the highest levels of musicianship by students of all ages.
