About Music Education with Choral Emphasis at Young Harris College

Music Education with Choral Emphasis prepares you for a range of graduate school and career options. It prepares musician/scholars to teach music on the P-12 level through field experiences, music instruction, performance, pedagogical practice, and education methods studies.

The curriculum educates by providing students with the academic tools to interpret texts and musical scores. In this way, they are challenged to think critically and analytically to make both academic and artistic decisions. The BME also inspires and empowers students through musical performance.

I am proud to be a part of a thriving Fine Arts program that affords our students a lot of personal attention and hands on experience.  In just the last few years we have produced alumni that are singing at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, teaching and performing music throughout the southeast, and starring in major motion pictures.  It is quite a record for a small liberal arts college.
