MASTER OF
Music Education

One of the most versatile master's in music education summer programs, Gordon's music education degree is designed around a teacher’s schedule, with the majority of the coursework taking place over three consecutive summers. During the academic year between the second and third summer, students choose fall or spring semester to implement a field-based experience capstone research project in their own classrooms.

You then continue your music education degree courses on campus in beautiful Wenham, Massachusetts near the sea for five weeks of in-person instruction starting in July. Included in the music education degree requirements is a week of intensive workshop electives that enable you to dive deeper into your particular interests, teaching age group or discipline with a nationally recognized music education clinician.

After three consecutive summers, you then apply your studies in your own classroom during a capstone course.

All of Gordon’s master’s degree in music education faculty have K-12 public school music teaching experience and will challenge you to reach your full potential as a music educator and musician. Because faculty have been in your shoes both as teachers and as master's in music education students, you will receive the unwavering encouragement, commitment to high standards, support and flexibility you need to complete your music education degree requirements and achieve your career goals.
