Music Education major

Music Education at Simpson College will allow you to develop the skills to teach musicianship and performance to K-12 students in band, choir, and orchestra.

Our location, close to the Des Moines metro area, yet in a smaller community, opens up learning and field experience opportunities in schools large and small.

Additionally, each semester, we bring nationally and internationally recognized clinicians to campus to help you stay current with music education trends and advocacy.

Whether you choose vocal or instrumental education, your distinctive classroom experience will be broad and deep, exposing you to history, theories, and methods. You will be taught by faculty dedicated to making you the most effective and successful K-12 music teacher you can be.
