Bachelor of Music [B.Mus] [Instrumental Music Education] From Oklahoma City University

Instrumental Music Education students at the Oklahoma City University have the opportunity for music teaching and conducting experiences outside of the Oklahoma City University classroom through a variety of means. Students teach private lessons in the schools and through the Oklahoma City University Performing Arts Academy. 

Students are hired or volunteer as sectional coaches for school ensembles, as well as for the Oklahoma Youth Orchestras that rehearse in the Bass Center. Students serve in leadership positions, such as marching band "techs" and drumline coaches, as well as music arrangers. Students also teach at summer music camps and festivals.

Music education method courses contain an observation component that helps the student to become acquainted with master teachers, as well as the discourse of school. Through COMEA students participate in state and regional music education conventions and activities. As a Conn-Selmer School, Bass School of Music students are afforded the opportunity to attend the Conn-Selmer Institute.
