I want to get a DME, a doctorate of music education. Would the AA in Music Ed at Seminole State be a good foundation? Didn't it used to list more music courses, like the BME? They take music theory? I think I have enough music electives. Should I take music theory, anyway? Thanks. I have a meeting set with someone in Music for the fall. He wants to see me in September, as of now. Also, do you know why SS took away sports and ballet/dance? Why did they do that now? I think the Music Education program looks like more fun. I believe in the graduate level, they are more music courses. I know I wanna do summer school and music you have to start in the Fall. Maybe, I can take some Education courses then.
I see Introduction to the Teaching Profession and Introduction to Diversity for Educators are available in the summer. It says we need 6 hours of international/diversity/modern foreign language. 1 of these requirements is already listed, so we need 3 or 6 more education hours than the courses already listed here: https://www.seminolestate.edu/education/aadegrees/edu-mus? I plan to come into the school sometime, to ask some questions, in case you don't understand me.
From the looks of it, I think I will take Music Theory, in the fall and spring. I might have to do my general studies later. I don't know what I will be advised to take when. I'm not looking for a heavy course load. I guess I will take the 2 education courses in the summer. The tech course I can take maybe next year. Perhaps, I will still take private voice when I'm finished with the other requirements an dam working on general studies. I do have an interest in music performance, as well, in singing. I took piano/organ/voice my 1st year. So, I'll do 2 courses of education in the summer and focus on music in the fall and spring or whatever the adviser tells me to do with a light enough course load yet at a pace that is conducive to my future.
I am 28 years old, by the way. Music Education was my original major. I went on a break and got "sick."
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Christina Barrett
