If I want to be a music teacher, should I choose a school based on their music or education program?
I am deciding between University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa. At the University of Iowa they have a great performance program but Northern Iowa is known for their outstanding teacher education program. #music-performance #choir #vocalmusic #hawkeye #panther #music-education

Hi Bradley! I think you answered your own question. :) If you want to be a music teacher, then you need to get a degree in music education - whichever school provides that degree. Music performance has nothing to do with music education. So choose the school that has the best music education program. I wish you well!
