a Unique Experience

 

Prepare to
Lead

Earn your M.A. from a top university with one of the world’s best graduate programs in music education. The Hybrid Summer Master of Arts in Music and Music Education (M.A. M&ME) at Teachers College, Columbia University, prepares music teachers for the challenges and rewards of teaching music in the 21st century.

The flexible hybrid learning format of our master’s program gives you the best of both worlds: online coursework during the academic year and two immersive Summer Residencies in New York City—one of the world’s premier cultural hubs. Students thrive with our intellectually rigorous and creatively engaging education.

Being in a program with other accomplished music educators was one of the highlights of my experience. I got so much out of developing professionally, side-by-side with colleagues from across the country who had different experiences and perspectives. Together, we got to dive into philosophy and theory, expand our skills, and open our minds to new ideas. Then in the fall, we could immediately put theory into practice in our own classrooms.

—Andrea Maas, Hybrid Summer M.A. M&ME, Teachers College, Columbia University
