Bachelor of Music - Music Education

The fundamental purpose of the Sacramento State music curriculum is threefold:

• to promote excellence in all aspects of music performance and academic coursework,
• to provide basic preparation for careers in music, and
• to promote interest in all musical and artistic endeavors at the University and in the Sacramento community.

The main emphasis of the School of Music is upon performance. Sustaining this concept is the School faculty, which remains committed to individual and ensemble performances as a means of enhancing the teaching quality of the institution and the cultural climate of the campus and community.

Students majoring in Music are not only expected to be technically proficient in the art but are required to have broad training in the liberal arts and sciences that are the core of the University's program.
