Summer Intensive in Music Education & Graduate Courses in Music Education

Summer Courses and Workshops

Summer courses and workshops at the College of Music fill a wide range of interests and needs. Courses offered in the College of Music summer school may be used by music majors to fulfill degree requirements, to serve as core or elective courses by non-majors, to satisfy certification requirements of educators, or to generally enrich the lives of community members.

Intensive music (IMUS) classes are special courses offered over a short time period (usually two to five days) for one or two credit-hours. They are designed both for teacher certification and as elective courses for undergraduate, graduate, and non-degree students.

Music majors will find courses (MUSC) in music theory, musicology, bibliography, and music education that may be used to satisfy requirements of their degree programs in the regular summer school listings. Many of these courses are also open to non-degree students.

INTENSIVE MUSIC (IMUS) The IMUS workshops provide opportunities for students and teachers to earn one or two credit-hours in a short time frame. Offered either on a two- to five-day format, the intensives will cover such topics as choral conducting, marching band techniques, new trends in string teaching, teaching in a high-stakes environment, technology in the classroom, wind-band literature, and world musics in the classroom.
