With a long history of both teacher education and a vibrant music program, EIU has earned recognition for preparing outstanding music teachers. Students gain immediate experience through observing and teaching in music classrooms during each semester of enrollment and all concentrations lead to the same licensure, with broad-based preparation in all areas of music education. However, each of the following concentrations has unique professional development experiences, designed to help the prospective teacher achieve his/her professional and musical goals. EIU offers three concentrations for music education students to choose from: Instrumental Music, Vocal/Choral Music, and General Music. You can choose the concentration that best meets your interests and teaching goals.
