By choosing music education as your major, you will be prepared for a career as a professional music teacher. UNT's music education degree program leads to Texas teacher certification in all-level music, opening an array of employment options. Teaching is an exciting and fulfilling career choice for those interested in blending musicianship and teaching skills. Music educators enjoy the process of providing musical experiences that lead to a better understanding and appreciation of music. To be a music teacher, you must not only be an accomplished musician, but also be interested in the art of teaching.
As a Texas certified music educator, you may teach instrumental or vocal music at the elementary or secondary level. With a bachelor's degree in music education from UNT, you could work as an elementary music specialist or as a middle school/high school band, choir, or orchestra director.
The University of North Texas has one of the most highly acclaimed music education programs in the United States.

Jay & Harriett Armstrong Scholarship recipient and President of the North Texas Student Music Educators
"Since coming to study at UNT, I have had seemingly unlimited opportunities to gain knowledge and insight into the world of music education. Whether it be through music education trips abroad, my daily classes, or extracurricular activities, I am consistently progressing as a musician, person, and future music educator."

Doctoral student and Priddy Fellowship recipient
“I believe the goal of education is to create lifelong learners: to enable and equip students to be self motivated and pursue knowledge based upon their insatiable desire to learn. My experience in the Music Education department at the University of North Texas has facilitated this desire. I believe the professors at UNT have found the perfect balance by guiding and mentoring students’ interests, while challenging us to think critically and philosophically. My experience has not only made me a better music educator, but an intuitive thinker, well rounded researcher and scholar. Upon graduation, I believe I will be well equipped to become a collegiate professor because of my experience at UNT.”
