Off-Campus Student Teaching in Music Education

Abstract

"The enclosed article and pictures are submlitted in response to a suggestion in the Music Education Source Book (p. 59) that 'Those who are responsible for a project (in student teaching) are urged to prepare articles for use in such publications as the Music Educators Journal….' I trust that other directors of this important aspect of teacher preparation will do likewise, for there is need for a zider dissemination of information regardilng student teaching curriculums in music. "We here at U. T. are proud to claim the distinction of being the first music education departnmentof a university School of Music to have been part of an evaluation by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education of a university School of Education and related teacher education areas. I should like to recommend that other colleges take advantage of such an evaluation for not only will it strengthen the music education program evaluated, but also it will help to give music education the added prestige other subject matter areas of teacher training or other areas of the music curriculum enjoy through AACTE and/or NASM (National Association of Schools of Music) ezvaluations.
