Is an undergraduate Community Music Program, a good transition into music education?

Hi, I'm a senior in High School, looking to pursue music education. This certain program that I found, which I meet the credentials for, offers students the learning experience of music in community groups and increases leadership. This is the only program I can get into with my level of Piano and Theory for music. I want to get into music as fast as I can. Do you think this sort of program can be a good transition into music education or should I focus on majoring on a certain instrument such as the piano? #education #music #music-education

Without knowing the details of the curriculum of the particular program you are looking at, in general I would say yes. That is also a good way for you to get a feel of what it really takes to be a music educator, and not just teaching music has a hobby. I'd say, go for it!

It really depends on where you want to pursue your career. If it is through an independent music education company I would recommend you make a few calls and go on some information interviews to find out what credentials they look for. If you are interested in becoming a music teacher in the traditional education system like a private or public school board you will need to pursue your undergraduate degree and complete teachers college. Good luck!
