Supplemental Information for the BM with a Major in General, Choral and Instrumental Music (Teaching Certification) This program is designed to prepare students for entry into the music teaching profession and related career areas. The curriculum emphasizes public school teacher competencies in music performance, literature and pedagogy. This degree program also leads to Texas teacher certification in all-level music. Students majoring in general, choral and instrumental music must minor in education and complete a minimum of 12 hours of applied music in one concentration and from 0 to 4 hours in the secondary applied field (depending on the student¹s performance proficiency on the secondary instrument). The curriculum is designed to develop teacher knowledge and skills as a public school general music teacher, choral director, band director or orchestra director. It is recommended that the student¹s applied music concentration be appropriate to the intended teaching specialty (voice for the general music and choral areas, and band/orchestral instrument for the instrumental areas). Those students who choose a keyboard or guitar concentration must take the secondary voice/instrument appropriate to the intended teaching area and qualify for participation in the appropriate music laboratory (see subsequent section, ³Graduation Requirements²). When the student has completed the 12-semester-hour requirement in the applied concentration, the Applied Music Examining Committee in the student¹s area of concentration decides if any additional hours are required. Admission to Teacher Education Students apply formally after completing 60 semester hours with a minimum grade point average of 2.75, including the following courses: MUTH 1380-1390, 1480-1490, 2380-2390 and 2480-2490; MUMH 1600 and MUAC 1500 level; 12 hours of English; PSCI 1040-1050; HIST 2610-2620; 3 hours of computer science; 3 hours of mathematics; and 4 hours of laboratory science (may include PHYS 1250).
