Music Education

"Music cleanses the understanding; inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself."

Henry Ward Beecher, American Congregationalist Clergyman, Abolitionist, and Social Reformer (1813-1887)

Why Music Education?

CCU's Bachelor of Music in Music Education prepares students for licensure in kindergarten through twelfth grade music education by the State of Colorado. The program also offers excellent preparation for graduate school. Students can select concentrations in choral, instrumental, or general music.

Music Education in the Christian University

CCU's School of Music shares the Music Education program with CCU's School of Education, which has been recognized by the state of Colorado as a program of excellence. The distinct focus on developing students who are servant-leaders as well as excellent practitioners has earned CCU graduates in Music Education teaching positions in both public and private schools throughout the state.
