PreK-12

Training

The General music education emphasis combines musicianship and education coursework for Kansas preK–12 general-music licensure.

Rather than centering a single choir or instrumental ensemble, the pathway prepares teachers to work across classroom music settings, supported by music methods, conducting, theory, history, technology and applied study.

Performance & Teaching

Students still participate in Baker's active ensemble culture, with vocal, instrumental, jazz, orchestral, percussion and chamber options available alongside teacher preparation.

Faculty advisors from Music and the School of Education coordinate degree and licensure requirements, helping students connect musical skills with curriculum planning and day-to-day classroom leadership.
