The Certificate in Keyboard Pedagogy
Program:
The Certificate in Keyboard Pedagogy is for students who wish to specialize
in group and/or private keyboard teaching. The program can be completed
in two semesters of residency. This program is for the student who already
has a degree in music or who wishes to take the program in conjunction
with the BA or MA in Music. Candidates with prior private or institutional
training and/or teaching experience may apply up to 9 units of transfer
credit in lieu of required or elective courses.
Students receive both theoretical and practical training in the art of
teaching, including ongoing participation through observation, assisting,
and teaching in group and studio keyboard settings.
Entrance Requirements:
Applicants must pass the entrance examinations for music theory and music
history and pass a keyboard audition for studio instruction at the upper-division
level before they can be officially admitted into the program. Applicants
who do not meet these entrance requirements may be admitted into the program
on a provisional basis at the discretion of the keyboard faculty. As provisional
students, they may enroll in required courses for the certificate program
with the understanding that they must meet the minimum entrance standards
before a certificate can be awarded. This may be accomplished by taking
appropriate courses or working independently or with a tutor. Applicants
who have earned degrees outside of music and have sufficient prior musical
training may be accepted provisionally into the program provided that they
meet all the entrance requirements.
Music Majors/Minors:
Students enrolled in music degree programs may concurrently be accepted
into the Keyboard Pedagogy Certification Program. Courses common to both
the music degree and the certificate program may count for both programs.
See the degree option adviser prior to enrolling in the pedagogy program.
