About the Hybrid Summer M.A. in Music and Music Education
The Hybrid Summer M.A. M&ME has no parallel., offering both in-person summer residencies and an online learning experience. Teachers College, Columbia University, is the only Ivy League institution with a postgraduate Music and Music Education program and one of just a few universities that offers a hybrid M.A. in this area of study. With our M.A. M&ME, students get the best of everything: a world-class education, online coursework during the academic year, and two immersive Summer Residencies in New York City—one of the world’s premier cultural hubs.
As part of Teachers College, the music education master’s program gives you the opportunity to develop musical, pedagogical and leadership skills—in tandem. As a cohort-based program, it immerses you in a community of thinkers, practitioners, and scholars. You will share experiences and form bonds that impact your life throughout your time at Teachers College and long after you graduate.
I entered the program for selfish reasons. I was thinking about my need for an intellectual boost and how good the program would be for me professionally. I didn’t expect it to alter my teaching in such concrete and impactful ways. I became more invigorated and excited as an educator, and my students became more engaged and motivated.
